Julie and Kyle's visit to Amsterdam and Groningen

Julie and Kyle came to visit me in the Netherlands last week. I went to college with Julie and her husband Kyle. John and I met them in Amsterdam and we visited the Rijksmuseum, Vondelpark, and the Red Light District.

Here's the i amsterdam sign and me at the eet cafe in Vondelpark.

After one night in Amsterdam, we all took the train up to Groningen. John and I convinced Julie and Kyle to try biking in Groningen. We made it to a roof top bar and recovered with a couple drinks.

We walked to the Prizenhoff gardens near the city center. They were lovely as always.

We then biked to Hornsemeer, which is a lake south of Groningen. We saw some "wild" dutch cattle, a windmill, and a hot air balloon.

We ended the busy day at an italian restaurant in Groningen. The following morning, Julie and Kyle left for Luxembourg.
