Little House on the Prairie

I keep thinking of things that I forgot to mention in my trip recap, so I figured I'd just do a follow up post!

1. Stroopwafels!  OMG I'm pretty sure I could eat my weight in stroopwafel! Click the link to see/read what more about them, but basically they're a cookie/waffle (similar to a waffle cone for ice cream) with a caramel syrup in the middle. Sanne and I had fresh stroopwafel at the Zevenaar market Friday night.

2. The long dogs at Hema! The brand is Let's Go Shopping, but in my Google quest to find the brand (because I couldn't remember), I've found that the wiener dogs are originally from an illustrator Fiep Westendorp and her series of Jip en Janneke, which apparently are very popular children's books in Holland.

This is what started my love:

Sanne bought me this and it currently houses all my tea at my office. I also bought a little zipper pouch with the long dogs at Hema as well.

3. I can't believe I forgot to mention this in my Paris recap. The traffic! OMG it was so scary! Thank gawd I wasn't driving, but just being in the passenger seat made me nervous. There's either no lanes on the streets, or people don't follow them and just drive wherever they want. It was so crazy. I thought NYC traffic was rough, this took it to a whole new level. And little moped-ers were the WORST! They zip and out and in the spaces between cars.

4. The boys. Did I forget to mention the boys? They are so freakin adorable! I thought I would think they were all too feminine hahaha. You know that American image we all have. But they are pretty darn cute.

OK I think that's about all for now...
