Moving Forward... » Netherlands http://www.van-willigen.net/moving-forward "A good traveler has no fixed plans and is not intent on arriving." - Lao Tzu Tue, 22 Sep 2009 22:23:06 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 en hourly 1 28 and counting. http://www.van-willigen.net/moving-forward/2008/11/11/28-and-counting/ http://www.van-willigen.net/moving-forward/2008/11/11/28-and-counting/#comments Tue, 11 Nov 2008 14:11:05 +0000 Rogier http://www.van-willigen.net/moving-forward/2008/11/11/28-and-counting/ I’m back in the Netherlands! Traveling taught me a lot and nourished the soul.

It’s quite possible I’ll be traveling again somewhere in the not-too-distant future, so please do keep this blog in your RSS-reader.

No idea was too crazy. “Our” kids aged 13-14 years were adorable. For a week my world did not extend beyond Bladel.

Triviant-disco
We like to dress up for the occasion.

"Fort Bejaard"
… and it’s all very serious.

Ontgroening - Fear Factor
Kids discovering they’re going to eat… fried insects :) !

Creme brulee
Cle and I were proud of our creme brulee – in 60-fold.

Turnaroundbitches
The so-called turnaroundbitches (wentelteefjes).

Oh yeah!
Kids know best!?

Hulp bij koken!
Kids helping with cooking. Lovely!

Na dagtocht
You can calm the kids down… but you have to make them walk for a looong time!

Fun w/ kids
Fun w/ kids.

S&S
Sport&Spel kicked ass.

"Kermis"
Not as easy as it seems… looks deceive ;) !

Bonte avond, gouden kooi
Fortunately, other people were responsible :D .

More LCKV Summercamp photos.

Excellent to be with them again – and a temporary somewhat hedonistic lifestyle has never hurt anyone, did it? Cafe Olivier is quite an addition to Leiden nightlife!

Photos from a “preparatory” weekend with the staff of my LCKV summer camp:

Still a 100 things to do, yet I’m leaving in 33 hours… Fortunately, I’ve got my golden shoes packed, so what could possibly go wrong?

This blog is for your (and my) enjoyment. I’ll minimize text and post mostly pictures. Be sure to check out the “Quo Vadis”-button for my location… :D

Love, Rogier
