Back to Real Life

Today was a much less interesting day to blog about, mostly because R went to work, and I stayed at his house to work. I am able to connect my laptop to my company's network, which means I could technically work from anywhere!

R usually eats dinner at his parent's house on Tuesday nights, and this week was no different.  He went directly there, and I managed to walk there without getting lost! No big surprise, I was a bit late, and he was worried I was lost.

His parents have a beautiful home. It was modest and cozy with lovely little details. I especially loved the collection of old photos hanging on one wall. They reminded me both of the photos my mom has hanging in her living room and the photos of my grandpa at the cottage.

We had a lovely evening with his mom. She made a simple and tasty dinner of mashed potatoes with sauerkraut zuurkool and rookworst (smoked sausage). She also served this delicious dessert that I can only describe as whipped raspberry yogurt. It was sweet and airy.

When we got home, we did some planning for an upcoming day trip to Antwerp, Belgium. I'm excited, it's one of the cities that I didn't visit when I was in Europe in 97/98.
