Day 93 – October 24

It is Friday and got the day off, so time to do some little things in and around the house. But first things first when you are off, getting some breakfast from McDonalds, cinnamon rolls is Camy’s favorite so Bram and Camy went to get some.

Day 39 – August 31

We loved the beach so we decided to go back and enjoy it one more time.

Day39-01

But before we hit the beach, we did some shopping first.

Day39-02

And who does not want a sandwich, love the sandwiches sold at 7-Eleven!

Day39-03

And yes, the girls have a good time here, all main brands are available, clothing, make-up, you name it. Here an idea of what it looks like.
Everything is set up real nice and booths that sell fruits and smoothies

And now it is time to enjoy the real American hot dog!

Day39-07

And here a view of the well-known (expensive) hotels and of course the yellow cab we all know.

Finally it is time to enjoy the beach! Water reaches the same temperature as the outside temperature, so no cold water!

Building our castle…..

Day39-10

ENJOY the moment, so this is a selfie of a happy human being!

Day39-11

To finish the day we treated ourselves with a burger, no Mc Donalds or Burger King but at BurgerFi. This is a restaurant with another concept, more like the Dutch “snackbar”. We had a quinoaburge, double cheeseburger and a regular burger. And of course fries!

Day39-13 Day39-14

Bon appetit!

Day 26 – August 18

Our goal for today: looking for a school uniform.
Or in other words trying to find kaki and dark blue shorts for Camy.
Again, we had already crossed this off of our list, right?
Absolutely right, Camy had already bought 2 pair of jeans but they are too hot to wear. So today after we dropped Camy off at school we went looking for them.

And of course it was time to have a cup of coffee, you want something with it?

Day26-01

For lunch we had this Cranberry Walnut salad.
Now we just need a nice and cool place, the shade is probably best.
Enjoy!

Day26-02 Day26-03

We picked Camy up at 03.45PM, she now has resource after her final class. This is like an extra class for some 30 minutes, this allows students to already do their homework but also have the teachers nearby, so when questions arise they are still available to help. And secondly, most of the homework is done by the time we get home, which allows us to have more quiet evenings.

Because we had some questions for a couple of teachers Bram had to sign in before he was allowed to enter the school. Safety first, no one is allowed to enter without signing in and out for that matter. They now know, at all times, who entered the school and why.

Day26-04

After we were done at school we went to Mc Donalds to have an ice cream and take care of the remaining homework. We did this at Mc Donalds since we did not go home right after school because tonight we are expected back at school. Mc Donalds is also convenient because internet is available here and most books are web based.

Day26-05

We were invited back to school tonight because it was time to meet all the teachers and to have all parents meet all teachers they set up a schedule based on the students regular classes and have them change class rooms every 10 minutes, just like students do. Within this 10 minutes all teachers were able to tell who they were, what they teach and what students will be thought this year. After 10 minutes the announcement was made that class was over and you had to go to your next class. Camy made the announcement after 3rd period, “this period is over please go to your next class”, she did it very convincing with an already American accent. So proud!!
