The Beach

May 7th
We did some laundry and then headed off to see Maarten and Ilse a really lovely couchsurfing couple. They have done a fair bit of traveling and were super sweet to us. Ilse picked us up frmo the bus stop and drove us to their house where she had made a quiche and pasta salad which we took to the beach as soon as Maarten got home from work. Maarten works at a greenhouse 4 days a week. We went to the beach for a few hours and the weather was just perfect. Sunny blue skies so nice!

We had great conversations and dinner and then they took us back to their place for some coffee and chocolate cake...mmmmm.

That night we slept in their guest room which had a sky light where we could see the stars as we fell asleep. It was a wonderful restful night.

Extras....
Ilse is pregnant and super beautiful and glowing...
Maarten made an amazing scrapbook of all of their travel pictures that was just out of this world. It looks like a professional coffee table book. He did it on line and they sent it to him from Germany. Really nice!
