Friday...


I hope this comes out ok, we are at an internet cafe and having a heck of a time getting things uploaded (OK, it's all in Dutch on the computer!). This is a field we found after much searching. We did paint here, but they were in the process of de-heading these flowers to make bulbs. All the tulip fields are gone by!!! We were 3 weeks too late, due to an early Spring and current heat wave!!!!! How could we have known? But we're painting away anyway, and now that I've alienated the clerk at this internet cafe maybe we'll have to find another to post our paintings.... tomorrow!!! Thanks for checking in... it's been an adventure, including having to run out in our pj's last night at 1:30 because of a fire alarm - just smoke from the bar next door, but still! :)

Tomorrow we're going to Keukenhof, a gorgeous botanical garden in Lisse, should be an adventure, and gorgeous.a.. Tulips to come!!! (Paula says Keukenhoff can't possibly compare to our trip to IKEA and the 2 hour trip to the bus station!)

even if that's the only tulip field left in Holland, I think you'll be OK..bring some pictures of the city and the windmills home, too!
