A visit of our friends.
Last Friday, our friends David and Daniel from Palm Springs came to visit us for a few days. They had worked hard the last weeks being involved in the GLAAD awards and spontaneously decided to be ready for a quick visit to Amsterdam to see us. We already planned that for quite some time but it never worked out. Even now, unfortunately, Jelle and I were only off on their day of arrival and had to work the rest of the days but we had told them and they knew they'd be on their own. ;-)
I really enjoyed their visit. They were fantastic guests and it felt very pleasant to have them around. We talked and laughed a lot and seeing them again after a little more than six months simply felt as if we had just left them in L.A. where we had last seen each other on board the cruise ship Princess Diamond.
It rained a lot on Friday so their first impression of Amsterdam probably wasn't a really good one...haha... but we tried to make the best of it.
We walked around the city a bit together and when they were alone they visited some museums and the Anne Frank house, two other friends of them living in Amsterdam and we also managed to make a short trip to The Hague together on their last day on Monday. It was an enjoyable day with good weather and we later went on to Scheveningen where David was excited to see the North Sea for the first time. ;-) It was great to walk on the beach and in the evening we had a good indonesian dinner at Scheveningen. It took some effort to find the restaurant that my colleague and friend Sumita had recommended but in the end we succeeded... ;-) That concluded a great time we spent together and on tuesday we brought them to the airport and they flew back to L.A.
I truly enjoyed the guys being here. I am thankful for having such great friends!
