The B&B that we're staying in (in our own seperate rooms!!!!) has wierd china/gilt antiques that are BUTT UGLY but the manager or whaterver likes to collect them. Bunch of cherubs with bits of cloth clinging questionably to their bits looking down on you midst the lamp fixtures above your bed. Real reassuring, makes you feel like God is really there. I'm tellin'ya.
Smoking is bad for you and everyone around you.Honestly, it's so intrusive on everyone around you (some actually don't want to be breathing secondhand smoke while they're eating their brocolli and ham quiche). Stupid chainsmokers. If I come over to you while you're smoking to hang out with you then you should go right on smoking. But here, in Europe, there is no place for non-smokers to be where there isn't any smoke. Smoke at meals, smoke while shopping, smoke while you're waiting for transport, smoke when you're trying to sleep. Lotsa smoke. I dunno bout you but I'd rather not have grey stuff pouring out of my mouth and nose when I don't even smoke.
Holland was VERY windy yesterday and less so today (at least no rain). There was actually a sun today. Last night we got lost coming home from the bus station (oops) but everything turned out okay and I found our way back. Today we went to a music box/organ/thingimabob museum where I increased my muscic box collection (note to peoples I love music boxes (HINT: they make good presents)). I got one music box that plays You Are My Sunshine, and two of the machines that make the music sans box. One plays Red Roses for a Blue Lady (one of my favorite songs) and the other plays Teddy Bears Picnic. Then we had lunch. Then we stopped at a old cathedral and BG bought me a miniture of one of my favorite pieces of art (a statue of a 14-year-old ballerina by Edgar Degas) and bought a statue of St. Francis for herself (because she needed it for her new home).
I should go back downstairs soon. Is there any requests for what I should talk about?
Love and God bless.
