You know you are in Holland when…

…you recognize the flowers by the front door
…the clouds could have been painted by Vermeer
…you can’t find a place to park your bike
…you recognize the shoes
… the first cup of coffee hits the spot

    Loved the post. Beautiful photos. Ella sitting outside drinking coffee makes me wonder if you are comfortable not (yet?) wearing a mask indoors.

      It was a beautiful sunny day. We couldn’t stand to be inside. But, I still do mask in crowded indoor environments. Too many people coughing.

    We have also found that the first cup of coffee of the day is always the best. Back in the 60s people used to say the first hit is the best but I don’t I what that means.

      “Hit” as in smoking a joint. Of course you knew, you innocent.
