Zomertijd

It’s summertime in Holland, and if you have been reading my blog for at least a year, you know what that means. Holidays. Lots of holidays. One set of neighbors just returned from a four-week vacation in France, and the other set just left for a three week tour of Belgium. They both took their campers. We are homebound for now, having taken a few American vacations (1 week or less) earlier in the year. Of course, we had our epic tour of the States this winter, so don’t feel sorry for us.

I do know someone you should feel sorry for, though. One of our friends teaches, so the best time for him to take time off is during the summer, but he has trouble using it all. Of course, “using it all" means that he would use his NINE WEEKS of vacation time in July and August.
