Only five days in to my next trip to Europe, I kept thinking of my last trip in November to Groningen. It seems like so far away, but has just been a month. Work has kept me quite busy the last month, so I haven't come along to post anything.
It was wonderful to meet my friends again in live! Great to hang out, see Maggie and Guis defend, climb again at Bjoeks, have a LaChouffe, saucijzenbroodje and (affordable) gouda, cook and eat Moussaka, walk over the market, lunch at V&D....As always time was flying, and I was a little busy travelling around to Eindhoven, Maastricht and Utrecht as well.
I took my camera and made lots of pictures, but the grey sky doesn't give the best contrast. I had almost forgotten about the weather over there, rainy, windy, grey, and 8C over there feel so much colder than -10C in Canada wearing the same layers! One thing that I don't miss. But I missed cycling, it's so good to get everywhere by bike (if the wind does not blow you off) getting at least a little workout every day, sobering up a little, and not having to wait for streetcars. Of course, I miss climbing at Bjoeks, nice and long walls and great company! The list of things I missed will get long, but mostly it's my friends I miss the most! I wonder, when my next visit will be and who will still be in Groningen then?
