AP Writes From A'dam ¶ Poetry Reading plus Dutch Meetup (NL) ¶ Updated

.
YOU ARE INVITED!

I am so happy to let everyone know AP and hubby arrived at Schiphol Airport yesterday morning. They are staying in an appartment in Amsterdam’s Albert Cuypstraat, close to the US Consulate (who cares), but more importantly near Concertgebouw – Stedelijk Museum – Van Gogh Museum and the Rijksmuseum with the famous Rembrandt painting Nachtwacht. There has been quite some renovation at musea, so some of the paintings may be relocated elsewhere or are on a tour.

I understand AP – AuntiePeachy @dKos – is presently without a phone and Internet connection, this sound very peaceful to me. I am sure they enjoy spending some days away from their jobs in the U.S., a well deserved holiday and a chance to visit places of culture and music concerts.

Recently Sven Triloqvist combined business travel to Warnsveld in the Netherlands, and met Nomad of EuroTrib. Later on, Sven spend some time in The Hague and I had a chance to chat with him and enjoyed a delicious lunch at Garuda Indonesian restaurant at the Kneuterdijk in The Hague.

We would like to arrange a meetup this Friday at the American Book Center (20:00PM) where hubby will present a bookreading. I’ll try to be there and get acquainted with both BooTribbers. I hope to be able to see more EuroTribbers or true Kossacks in Amsterdam this weekend.

My Invitation to AP for a Visit to The Hague

Hi AP,
My suggestion would be to visit The Hague – its historic centrum Het Binnenhof – Parliament buildings – Mauritsmuseum – Madurodam in combination with our meet-up to get acquainted and enjoy a nice dinner North of The Hague in the Dunes — an area called Meyendel — in Hotel Duinoord near Wassenaarse Slag and the North Sea coast.

Let me know if you have interest in cultural, sport or leisure activities in the Netherlands. In the weekend I often have a fieldhockey game to referee, at our club H.C. Klein Zwitserland.

Let me know your tentative schedule and a day you want to meet-up with me.

Kind regards and see you soon,
Oui

Visit the Historic City of Leiden

Appreciate this comment, especially as it’s your debut contribution here at EuroTrib – or at BooMan’s as well!

Amazing to find these intellectuals residing in the community of Leiden, such a wonderful historic place – Pilgrim Fathers and resistence to the Spanish siege October 3, 1574 as well as founding of University on February 8, 1575. A mere 201 years before the founding of the United States.
