A day in Amsterdam and on the beach

Today we had a big day: in the morning we had to go to my doctor for the hip brace. Would I be able to shed the thing? The doctor is close to my old house and in my old neighbourhood. This is fun! We drink a coffee on our old coffee hangout. My old grocery man from Irak waves at us.

Unfortunately my hip brace cannot yet be removed. My hips look reasonably good, but it is better while it still can, to wear it. After 18 months it is no use to wear a brace because then the bones are hardened. So after that it is wait and see. We are happy to wear the brace just for a couple of months more.

After the doctor it is fun time! We go to Amsterdam downtown. We have lunch in the old boys orphanage, now a museum. I have a sandwich with salmon. Yummie!!

After lunch we go to our curtain man in Haarlem, close to my grandparents. And then we want to go to the beach! It is warm and sticky. Grandpa and Grandma want to come too, that is great!

I am just with my feet in the sea, and then the rain starts! A tropical rain. We run inside the beach tent and order our fish for dinner. It is fries and mayonaise time for me! Beach tents are the best thing!
