Shakira rocks!



Last night we went to the one and only concert of Shakira in the Netherlands. Even though we knew her from video's and CD's I think she was absolutely even more stuning in her live performance. The concert was done in a big soccerstadium in the city of Arnhem and as the place was packed, there must have been about 38.000 fans. We were lucky to be about 100 feet close to the stage so that gave us the perfect experience and even the possibility to take some photo's and short movies with Leslie's little camera. This evening was just one big latin dance festival!

Photo's from our travel to Greece

Finally I posted a selection of the photo's we took during our trip to Greece in October last year. There are photo's from Parga, Olympia, Mystras, Monemvasio, Nafplio, Athens, Santorini, Delphi, Mount Olympus, Meteora and the Ioaninna area so I guess these pretty cover a lot of this beautiful country. We hope you like them and please do not hesitate to give comment.

The white village of Holland


Last Sunday we went for a ride to visit the so-called "white village of Thorn" in Holland. As we recently bought a navigator for use on the European roads it was a good opportunity to test that little gimmick as wel! All went fine and with no problems we found our little town. The weather was absolutely great (the first time this year with nice and sunny temperatures) so we enjoyed our little stroll around the town, sitting on a terras and eating applepie with icecream and not to forget our visit to the beautiful abbey church with it's many old statues and paintings. We also visited a small stained glass workshop with some amazing pieces of art from wich you can see one example on this page. I think the dragonfly was very cool and I wish we could have taken the window back home! Late in the afternoon we tested our navigator by driving home by only using the backroads and that went really well. I guess it will be more difficult to get lost from now on!
