The Weekend

Friday
On Friday we went to the Richard Nixon library. This is big museum devoted to Richard Nixon. We learned about his personal live and his career. It was very interesting.

Friday in the evening we had a lovely bbq with friends of my host family. The friends were the host family of Linda. We had a nice chat and enjoyed dinner. After dinner Linda and I showed pictures about our hometowns and told them a little about the history and touristic attraction in The Netherlands. They really enjoyed the ‘grachtenpanden’(canal houses), the delta works, queens day with the orange craziness.

Sunday
On Sunday morning I found something standing before my door. It was a Easter present from my host family. They give me a goodiebag with a big Easter egg with candy in it and some nice cookies. So sweet!! April made nice waffles with chicken sausages. It was a good time to try the ‘stroopwafels’ (dutch waffles). After dinner we went to church.

After church we went to see the family of Mike. This is I big family. We had a nice dinner/lunch. After lunch everyone went searching for Easter eggs in the garden.
