Hello, Sunday. Cool pic, huh? Last night I worked a fundraiser for work and it was in the Delta hanger in the Detroit airport! Anyway, a very cool space. This week I used the decent weather to get my bike legs flexed as zipped around…

See the World: A Day in Delft
I hope you enjoyed our little walk through the tulips. I’m still having a hard time deciding which picture to enlarge and frame (because, how could I not?). What do you think?
Anyway, continuing with our travel tale, we left our bikes in Edam and made our way to Delft, a charming little college town right outside of Amsterdam. It just so happened we arrived on King’s Day! That’s right, it was King King Willem-Alexander 50th birthday and the whole country was celebrating in orange style.

See the World: Toronto Layover
Trip recovery is hard, and I made it harder with a quick day trip to Chicago on Sunday because I really know to go get over jet lag. With an 8-hour round trip road trip, obviously.
Getting back into the swing of not having the day to be yours is hard. What’s even harder? The reality of the non-vacation breakfast. For a whole week, I woke up to freshly baked bread, delicious hams and cheeses, Euro-strength coffee, and milk that actually tastes like milk. Yesterday, I ended up taking some bread out of the freezer and thought, “Why isn’t this fresh baked? Why don’t I have butter out and soft? Why isn’t it Irish butter? Where are my cold cuts?” Like I said, life is hard.
Thankfully, the memories and pictures will sustain me until the next trip and those I can share with you (along with a few recipe recreations, coming at you in the next few weeks). Before I talk about the glories of Holland, let’s first talk about Toronto.
