I'm bit behind in my writing, but the pieces are starting to come together...
Doesn't seem like much yet but the pieces are coming together...
Enough so that I could take some time off to frolic with some special guests.
Mom and Mim arrived just over a week ago now. I kept up with my business but was able at long last to share this wonderful land with two of my most favorite people.
Atop Kijkduin where James Turell created a portal to the entire universe of the mind as well as the physical surroundings.
One path led to the Tulips...which have come early this year.
Yes it is a touristy thing to do. But every tourist is perfectly justified in such a jaunt. Every single time I see them I cannot help but to gasp at the intense visual experience of saturated color.
They were here for a week and I think I ran them ragged...or they me.
The last day Lida and Nienke brought them to meet me at the ZZM(Zuiderzee Museum)
I got to share this project with them and then do some exploring of my own.
We drove across the Ijselmeer on the Houtribdijk to Harderwijk the home of my friend Kees who's finishing up a semester abroad at the School of the AIC.
We finished up the trip with a wonderful dinner at the Amsterdam Cafe formerly the site of a major pump station for the city of Amsterdam....keeping the city safe from seepage.
Saturday morning early, they headed to the airport. After dinners at their small apartment off of the Nieuwe Markt, breakfasts on the terrace of the BlueWave Houseboat, and fire alarms at the Lloyd hotel we were sated, bellys full of experiences.
I spent Sunday afternoon listening to jazz at the Engelbewaarder reflecting on the pleasures.
Thanks and love.
