Saturday Kim and I had nothing better to do, so we headed off on our bikes for the Laurenskerk Market. We love to browse around and look at all the fascinating things for sale. There was one man selling boots. Real leather boots of 15 euros! Kim bought herself a pair, and I think I might buy myself some as well next time we go even though I don't need new boots. For that price it wouldn't be smart not to buy a pair. Maybe I should just buy them out of stock and start a business in Canada!
I also bought two mangos for one euro. Delicious! And Kim and I decided to surprise the Macleans by buying two long French breads and making them into garlic. So we proudly biked home with our purchases and told the Macleans, and poor Tante Joke was all worried because we were supposed to have spaghetti for supper, and apparently in Holland one does not eat spaghetti with garlic bread. In the midst of a large amount of flustering about changing the dinner plans to pea soup Kim and I hastily explained that in Canada eating garlic bread and spaghetti is normal thing to do. So thankfully we managed to get the message across (and we all four of us had a good laugh afterwards) and thus we had spaghetti with garlic bread. It was delicious! And then vla for dessert of course. We have vla for dessert every night here. It's quite yummy and I think I'll miss it a bit when I go back to Canada. I can't complain about dessert every night!
