Me again :)
What can I say, its been a busy couple of weeks! The highlights?? I’d thought you’d never ask!
1. Last weekend we went to Copenhagen with some friends. The ride there was long (I think 11 hours in total), but definitely worth the effort. Denmark was great --the people were incredibly friendly, the city beautiful, and the coastline breathtaking!! We visited Hamlet’s castle, the Modern art museum "Louisiana" (saw a fabulous exhibition by artist Keith Tyson), tried our hand at the shooting gallery (and lost miserably), amongst other games, at Tivoli, and did a ton of great eating! Plus--who knew a ferry could be so much fun?! Me and the other 5- years-olds (also first-timers on a Ferry) were very excited :P
2. On Friday we went over to my friend Miranda’s for a Thanksgiving dinner (yes, a month late in Canadian terms. But better late than never!). I made my Grandma’s Thanksgiving coleslaw and Miranda prepared-- FROM SCRATCH-- an entire meal of turkey, stuffing, homemade pumpkin pie, sweet potatoes, etc. for 9 hungry folks!! I marvelled at her skills, and contemplated the impossible-ness of one dish, let alone a dozen!
3. On Saturday I went to an Anouk concert for my friend and colleague Jami’s birthday. (Anouk is a very popular Dutch pop/rock star here in Holland). Jami’s husband works with Anouk (guitar specialist) so we scored VIP tickets to the sushi and alcohol filled backstage VIP lounge --definitely my kind of place. hihihi ;) She was great. Much better live than I would ever imagine. Am now an even bigger fan!
4. I have a "casting" this week to be a host for a Canadian game show being filmed in Amsterdam (and shown across Canada). Don’t ask!!! A friend recommended me, so I decided to give it a try for kicks! Truly hilarious, and if it happens, its going to be ridiculously funny!
5. The next month’s travel agenda is action packed (both work and personal trips). In the next month I’ll be in Paris, Frankfurt, Düsseldorf, Hamburg, and London. M and I have decided to go London for New Years Eve. I figured if I must (just kiddin’ Mo!) stay in Europe for the holidays, I might as well get some great shopping, greasy food and cheesy musicals crammed in there as well!
Alrighty. Got that off my chest!
Hugs,
xxoo
