When in Holland...


So, today, "Ascension Day", is a German National Holiday, so I had the day off! Sarah, Laura and I took a road trip to Maatstricht, a little town in the Netherlands that's about one hour away. We had such a blast!

We got off to a little bit of a rocky start getting to know Gabrielle, our GPS personality, however it led us to the small village of Titz....this slightly distressing detour made this hilarious picture possible.


The day included the discovery of a flea market, a street fair, and city gates that dated back to 1229, AND the Basilica of the Virgin Mary dating back to the year 1000! Whoa!!

Apparently the Netherlands are known for their "Pommes"...or french fries, and they way to have them is with "Speciaal Sauce", otherwise known as mayonnaise mixed with curry ketchup and onions. Sounds gross, right? WRONG. It was the most delicious thing.

Here's my video blog from the day!
