This is Andrea, a student Cecilie and I had as a 7th grader in Norway. This morning Cecilie saw an instagram post from Andrea showing a canal in Amsterdam. She commented on it and wa-la, we found out she lives about a block from our airbnb in the jordaan district (the best in Amsterdam). So we went on a three-hour walk with her. This girl...I loved her in 7th grade and she has developed into this super human adult who is studying to be an osteopathic doctor. Speaks five languages, has lived all over the world. You know.
She took us to a place called Prince Island (or something like that). Houseboats and a yellow submarine! Great neighboorhood.
After she left we went to the Saturday market, right outside our door. And that was after our second amazing breakfast provided by our host: eggs, bread, ham, fruit...and get this, she, Leneke, is taking us to the airport at 5 am tomorrow. Unbelievable!
This is the classic Dutch pancake.
Beet salad, just like the one I make at home.
Lumpia
Tons of cheese. Could not have been a better last day!
So glad your last adventure was a wonderful one! Excited to see you tomorrow evening.
