This is my first attempt to blog from an IPad, so forgive my errors ...
Since I last blogged I have been to Haarlem, the home of Corrie ten Boom, a courageous woman who helped hide many Jewish people during WWII, and the story behind the book The Hiding Place. Although it rained while I was there, the town had it's unique charm and history that I enjoyed. But thanks to my mom, who recommended a beach excursion from Haarlem, I took the train to the coast and the sun followed. Zandvoort Beach is on the west coast of the Netherlands, so while standing in the North Sea, I imagined seeing England, creating my own stories. The water was cold, but I still walked in with my arms stretched, yelling into the open air (what I said will remain with me). Then I wrote a little note in the sand, a photo I would love to share, but I'm still unable to download pics, so it will be in another blog. Just know it made smile. I then enjoyed the sun, the cool breeze, the view of the ocean with a glass of 2009 La Baume Syrah Rose, and my journal ... at peace.
