Oh horror, egg Mcmuffins for breakfast on the road! Shhh, don't tell. It was what fit best for our 9 AM departure to Holland. Arriving on Henri and Roos' doorstep an hour later, we were greeted by Mabel, Roos and Roos' colleague Ingrid (Henri was at work).
We brought our gear in to their guest house. Roos laid out a sandwich buffet along with some delicious grilled veggies and we shared a few stories. Afterwards while Ingrid and Roos worked we spread out a years' accumulation of souvenirs on a table to admire. We have had quite some adventures.
So many people laud Jack Kerouac's "On The Road," but no one gives enough credit for "Off The Road." This being said, we reveled in hot showers, warm beds that didn't have to be stowed right away, and room to walk around.
Ingrid said, "See you later," for we planned to go into Eindhoven the next day, where Roos would be doing more work with her at her place while we took care of some errands in a larger town. Henri came home (no crutches this time as he was using when we saw him at the beginning of the trip!) and we all ate curried chicken, cashews, avocado, peaches, crispy onions and coconut with peanuts. It was good to be back home.
We joined Henri and Mabel in walking to the tennis courts to watch Roos play with a few buddies. Afterwards we shared a few beers in the tennis club house, and Charles chatted at length with one of the players who also had a love for music.
We walked home and fell into our beds. Our beds in different ROOMS!
