When we were in the planning phase for our trip, we always knew we would spend Christmas and New Years in
Amsterdam. Today was the day we made the trek from
Brussels to
Amsterdam to kick off Christmas and enjoy some of our last days in
Europe, and the last days of our trip, as a whole. All of us, Shelby, Dustin, Marc and I, boarded the
12:19 PM train to
Amsterdam.
We enjoyed a few days in Brussels, taking in the beauty of the town square, the light Christmas Light show at night and an opera in the square on Saturday night. Unfortunately, numerous police officers roamed the streets, on high alert, after 13 terrorist suspects were arrested and released the following day in Brussels. The Christmas markets were packed with tourists and locals doing last minute Christmas shopping.
(Marc): This is where we need to pause our story. Laura is hard-at-work in the shitty little kitchen in our apartment in Amsterdam. She’s doing her best to make a Christmas dinner to be “remembered” (hamstrung by crappy tools) and unfazed by the challenge of cooking a 2.5 kg chicken in the Sharp R-852W Magnetron (combimagnetron) oven. We’ll make sure to give an update on the outcome within the next couple days… of course that depends on tonight’s dinner ;-)

Good Luck with dinner Laura! Just remember when you're getting milk in the market, don't get the blue one (its buttermilk!)
Merry Christmas-
Mike
Laura, you are one of 2 people that I know that make chicken salad out of chicken sh--. The other one is Marc's Grandma (high praise) I can see from the "fixins" that it was yummy. MERRY CHRISTMAS.
