Homesick.....Not
One of the reasons why I swapped my wonderful liberal life in Holland to the tropical life on our tropical island of Key West is the dutch cold winters.
The cold Holland winters that turn the landscape into a living winter wonderland.
Do I miss it.... hell yeah, I would love to tie on my wooden shoe ice skates just for that one day. Skate through that picturesque landscape with the windmills and dikes....
Just for one day though, check out this picture.
People skate on frozen canals in Kinderdijk's Mill Area, a UNESCO World Heritage site, near Rotterdam, Netherlands, Saturday Jan. 3, 2009. Kinderdijk is a good example of an area where water management is carefully organized in the low countries with a system of mills and waterways.
Beautiful Isn't it, it's about 74 degrees on our Coffee Plantation front porch today.

hi Theo and Diane,
saw the beautiful picture of Kinderkijk! It is freezing out here, normally we do not have winters anymore but this one is the first since 1996 where we actually have ice and snow everywhere...everybody is taking a day off and goes skating...but tomorrow it is over it will start to defrost.... we miss Key West and are planning to coming over very soon, big hug for both of you, Jan and George
