After coffee we went to the humble yet charming Neerkant craft fair. Then we went to Harrie and Ietje's to celebrate their daughter Robbin's 20TH birthday with the whole family. We brought a guitar over and played some music at their request. We were asked to play "Country Rose" and told them it was "Country Roads" but Roos insisted on singing it the old way! A small clay figurine was given to Robbin that had a happy and sad face on it. She imitated the sad face perfectly but cautioned us NEVER to post the photo on the internet. We got a preview of what Nicole's cake might taste like while eating Robbin's far more tastefully decorated creation. It was delicious!! At about 5PM we went back home (literally across the street) to prepare for our party.
It was a full house with Gert, Inga, Peter, Ans, Deborah, Herman, Benji, Paolo, and all five of us, but the bounty and quality, unsurprisingly, did not disappoint. Herman even picked up the guitar later and played a bit, to the surprise of even his wife and kids. By 11:30 our farewell BBQ had broken up and we said goodbye to our Amsterdam friends. and Roos' family.
