Never heard of the "Act normal" saying but it is an explaination for their front windows. Looks like you are headed to Berlin...make sure you do the flea market there one of my daughter, Jenn's favorite experiences.

Interesting to read your blog. We are considering doing a boat trip to see the tulips and The Netherlands and Belgium.

I am enjoying your trip so much. It is giving me insight into my trip to Holland that will begin on May1. I will know what I will be able to do and should do. We do have tickets for the Anne Frank Hours already. Keep reporting on what
I will need to see. We are really want to see the tulips.

Thanks, Laura, for another great travel entry. Your reaction to seeing the windmills that you had learned about in grade school reminded me of my reaction to visiting the Cape of Good Hope during our recent trip to South Africa. I could jus
t imagine Vasco da Gama and Ferdinand Magellan sailing through there on their tall ships. It blew me away that I was actually there.

Amsterdam is one special city. I became familiar with it and Delft on visits to see former exchange student from Delft. They say the Rijksmuseum has just been renovated and wonderful...but difficult to see it all. Enjoy your trip as you
continue to be adventuresome. Not sure I could be doing it on my own. Loved your seven layer approach! Happy Easter!

Wonderfully written!!!! Informative and image provoking. It is wonderful ...achieving a synthesis between a word picture of this digital error and a well crafted piece of writng; the practioners of which seem to be growing more and more r
are.

I have been thinking about you and all the snow the northeast has had. We had our share, I am hoping that it is finished. We had one warm day and its cold again. I was in Las Vegas last week for the NAPNAP conference and enjoyed the warm
weather and the sun. I enjoyed my visit but once is enough. I am going to Holland to see the tulips also. I leave May 1. You need to let me know what to visit. love

Dear, Dear Laura, Such good reading in your blogs. I would have loved to have been back home in Maine for at least one of those storms and have committed to spending a week with my sister next year hoping to have one or more of those bliz
zards! Do have a wonderful time in Europe and know I am with you in spirit.

I got cold just reading this. We, too, have had a cold winter but spring is beginning to reveal itself in blooming trees and warmer temperatures. Our highs this time of the year are usually in the upper 50s into the 60s but the high the pas
t two days reached into the 80s. Come down south to see us! In the meantime, have a wonderful trip.

Ah, Laura, good one!! Your writing fills me with so many memories of 4th celebrations years ago. In 1976, we were visiting my parents in the Philadelphia area over the 4th. It was wonderful with thousands and thousands of people celebra
ting the 200th anniversary of this wonderful country in the city where history was made. That night the fireworks were shot right above center city and it was magnificent. Everyone was laughing , cheering and clapping, and yes, hugging each other. It was a happy day

HI Laura, A belated Happy Birthday. I too am waiting for Spring out on the coast. There are some promising signs, daffs and tulips are up and forsythia buds are swelling. Early May is crowded for me with appointments and health care stuff.
But I could meet you in Belfast for lunch at Chases Daily on Thursday if you happen to be available. I just realized that's Mayday! Let me know if that works for you, otherwise it may be late May before we could enjoy lunch together.
