My trip to the Netherlands

Have to bring a book along for my trip and I chose the best one Eat, Pray Love by Elizabeth Gilbert. I love this book. It is so good, so real so honest and so full of life. Life affirming. Who knew, well, Beth did, she told me I would love it, and my daughter Sara told me to read it too. A spiritual quest and travel and food, I said I was a foodie. There goes all my resolutions after reading the Skinny Bitch, Liz knows how to write about good food, I want that pizza from Naples right now, and yes, I too think Italian is the most beautiful language in the world, and I like to watch Bread and Tulips just to hear the language. Also Life is Beautiful. Must start Italian Lessons now. Was that the name of that movie when the people all learn Italian in Sweden and then travel to Vienna? Gotta get back to my foreign movie mode. Loved Bride and Prejudice and also The Monsoon Wedding. Who knew those Indian movies could be so beautiful. And loved the music. Okay, I love movies as much as I love books. Right after I was graduating from library school my husband and I talked about going to Paris, it didn't happen, but I made him sit through loads of French movies, the second best thing. Is that when I started reading Alan Furst? That's a load of history. And European cities. May even try to post pictures of my trip to Amsterdam and Hoorn Holland. Wow!
