Third « rendez-vous » with Beth’s Postcard Friendship Friday meme, after my West African postcard from Senegal, I’m back in Europe to take you to Holland a region and former province in the western part of the Netherlands. Actually, everyone in France refers to this country by calling it Holland, so for us, Holland is the all country, yes it’s wrong, but bad habits are hard to break, right ? This card was sent by a lovely dutch woman I met there called Anika, actually it’s wasn’t friendship at first sight, but a lunch after another, we found ourselves a lot in common. She knew my love for Vermeer’s in particular The painting Girl with a Pearl Earring that you can see in the middle of the windmills. I had a very happy time in my stay in Holland, basically I have worked as freelancer in Maastricht for almost two years. It’s a lovely small city and fortunately who moves two or three times to visited a part of the country with some colleague. Anita is part of my best « souvenirs » of Rotterdam, Amsterdam for the queen’s birthday and The Hague for the Jazz festival, but we never made it to Haarlem but you knows maybe one of this days ?
There’s a lovely daily prayer just above the girl with a pearl that maybe you can’t read :
oh lord, help me to keep my big mouth shout until I know what I’m talking about
I can’t wait to see other’s postcards of the day, if you want to joins us you can link yours here Postcard Friendship Friday !
Happy friday friendship !
Nice country we can have a french version of this Grace ?
Thank you. No, not for the afterworks posts, I really have no time to do both. Sniff !
For Van Gohn, Rembrandt, the tulips and the moulin(comment on dit moulin en anglais?) yes I want to see this country
A lot of good reasons Paulette. Moulin = Windmill
Probably a good place but I hardly forget what they did in south africa big boss
Not totally wrong Robin but still I don’t think we should mix it all otherwise the peace is impossible. I follow Mandela example on this.
I want more sun I will not go with you there.
Fine GP, we will find another destination.
This is too blue for me Grace.
Oh really Gaby ? Smiles !!!
