The North Sea
Or Jim likes to call it the Black Sea : ) I just like to call it the ocean, either way going to the beach for the day is a fabulous way to spend the day. Even if you can’t lay out, get a tan, or get into the water. Just hearing the waves and taking in the salty air is good enough for me. I love going to the sea. We decided on Thursday that we would go to the northern coast of Holland. The province is called Zeeland which is made up of many tiny islands. The drive there was very easy less than 2 hours to get to the beach. There were lots of little towns to choose from and to tell you the truth I am not sure which ones we stopped at. It didn’t matter…it was just fun to visit the beaches and walk around. I think the best part was the sun was out and it was relatively warm. When you only see the sun once a week you really start to appreciate every time the sun comes out. Jim and I stopped at a local restaurant on the beach for what we thought would be hamburgers. But European hamburgers are different than American hamburgers. It should be but when you have something in your mind and you get something else it throws you for a little loop. We quickly recovered and eat our hamburger without a bun our tasty French fries and salad. Jim had beer, I had water and soda and we took in the sights of the beach while I recharged in the sunlight. After lunch we got back in the car to see more of Zeeland. Jim quickly discovered that he needed a nap so we pulled over at a beach. Jim took a nap and I walked around just as happy as could be. After the nap we toured the little towns making stops where ever we wanted (which is the best). After seeing Zeeland we headed back home. Now we love GPS and our friendly British-sounding lady takes us right where we need to go except for when we are headed home. For some reason she likes to take us through the town instead of on the highway. We want to get her drug-tested because we think she smokes crack during our trips. Needless to say, this adds time to our trip home when we just want to get home. Going through the towns is fun but not when we are just ready to be home. Plus all these little towns have roundabouts, cars parked in the street, and traffic is VERY slow. After some maneuvering we finally make our way back to the interstate for a quick trip home. No other GPS has been this difficult but for some reason our Mercedes likes to take us on tours of random towns. The trip was capped off with a great couple gyros at our favorite Greek restaurant.
