It was another day in Brea and a waterpolo tournament for Alex. Roos and I acted like a real American family in between games. It was quite hot and Roos was wearing a sweater. So we decided to buy a t-shirt and ended up at Walmart. Roos briefly considered going all out with this t-shirt
She found a better option that was mildly offensive. Roos decided to change in the car in the wal mart parking lot and we went to McDonalds across the street for McNuggets for brunch.
The fence behind my house was recently removed… definitely better.
We hadden het een beetje koud maar het was ook wel even lekker. Vandaag zijn we op de fiets naar Heerde gegaan om nog even bij ome Jan langs te gaan. Hij was echter niet thuis en dus zijn we maar even bij de Posthoorn op het dorp een kopje koffie gaan drinken. Het begon echter al snel wat donker aan de lucht te worden en we waren gelukkig met de eerste druppels thuis.
It has been a decade or more the last time I was in the city of Nordhorn, just across the border with Hardenberg at about 1h15 from Wapenveld. Growing up, we used to go as a family, perhaps as often as once every 6 weeks to go grocery shopping in Germany. In those days, a passport was still needed to get across the border and there were limits on the amounts that could be purchased.
Those days are long gone and the city has changed quite a bit. The iconic store we would always visit, the Kaufhalle, is closed and just an empty shell remains. Nordhorn has a beautiful park and we went for a walk here after a German lunch ( Currywurstpfannchen mit Pommes ).
