She chose the violin as her topic and brought her mother a professional violinist in to play some music for my class. I remembered the sound and the movements she made on this little piece of wood on her shoulder. I could not take my eyes of it. To my great happiness we http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Netherlands/Limburg/Maastricht/blog-765676.html I have arrived in Maastricht after a long plane ride followed by three trains.

The place is fully booked. Am happy that the reservation was made last December.Heiderust is Number 19. The owners live at Number 20.

So this past weekend we went to Maastricht for Carnavale their preMardi Gras celebration. Carnavale is celebrated in the south of Holland so we had to get out of Utrecht to take part.
