from the "goin' Dutch" dept.

Steenwijk, Netherlands
Friday, 9:11 p.m.

I've had a great visit so far with my border-pal Harry ten Veen and his family since arriving in Steenwijk yesterday.

I'm sleeping in an unbelievably pink room (his daughter Emma's) and enjoying fabulous Dutch hospitality.

Today we toured around Steenwijk, visiting 5000 year old burial grounds, an old American base (that may have been a missile instillation), and the 31km-long Afsluitdijk dike.

On Saturday we're off to Baarle-Hertog / Baarle-Nassau, a borderfreak's dream!

Pictures and more to come, but likely not until next week. There's just no time!!

Cheers!
