Happy anniversary!!

As of yesterday,  Nov. 2nd, I have officially been in England for a year!  I think the time has gone by pretty fast although every now and then it does feel like it's been forever.  I have been enjoying all the traveling, thanks to my wonderful husband, but I do miss Houston and my family very much.  I don't like to wish the time to go faster but I can't wait until we are back home for good.

Just a few things I have learned:

1. England is overgrown with ivy, holly, weeds and moss
2.  England is overpopulated with spiders
3.  The weather isn't as bad as I expected
4.  European men love to wear red pants and pointy shoes
5.  European men don't have the same manners as most American men
6. I am from America, not the United States, not the States

I reserve the right to change my mind on items 3 and 5, if I experience differently and I will be adding to the list though out the next year



We spent Halloween in Amsterdam.  Even though a Friday night in Amsterdam always seems a bit Halloweenish, didn't see too many people dressed in costumes.

They've already started decorating for Christmas


On Saturday we took the train to Delft for a little shopping.  Here's my energetic shopping partner and bag boy




Oh look, a market!!

A square


The weather was gorgeous so the cafes were packed


We ended the night with Spoon
