B is for beaches and breathalyzers
tonight was pretty interesting/eventful considering its a sunday when everything is closed up. since everything is closed as i said, we decided to drive around. we went around to look at my school again, and then up to the beach- which is only about a 5/10 minute drive from our house actually. i didnt realize it was that close- but i figured i didnt, hence why i wanted to go. it has been rainy and so hardly anyone was there. apparently it is usually a giant pain to drive down there, but there was lots and lots of parking. i dont know if it was because its sunday, or cuz it was a kinda yucky day without much sun.
in any case, we came back and ate at a pannekoeken huis (pancake house- whoot i spelled that correctly the first time) which was really good. it occures to me that i only ate breakfast food today- 2 bagels and a pancake with ham, egg, and cheese on it. oh well, it was all good. apparently they believe in pancakes, eggs, fried foods (especially potatoes), potatoes themselves- mashed and otherwise, and mayo on french fries (which we've decided doesnt add anything to the fries).
on the way home we decided to go the long way and drive around to haarlem and back before going home. so we went down this really pretty road with lots of big houses and farm/pasture land. there is also alot of livestock here- cows, horses, goats, sheepses, etc etc, and flowers too. so anyways, we got into haarlem and dad found his way to the bus station, and then the church, and around to his appartment, etc etc. and we were coming down a little street one street over from the red light district, and all of a sudden there were a bunch of police there. so when we got up there one of them told us to pull over, and another came by and informed us that they were doing alcohol testing. so dad ended up having to do a random breathalyzer test, which he passed of course. though it was a good day for him to decide to drink iced tea with dinner lol.
