September 26-27, 2014 -- With summer quickly going into hibernation and the cold Dutch weather following behind, we decided to take the weekend to explore the changing colors and drive through the Netherlands countryside.

We started on Friday with a trip to the northern part of the country through Friesland and the college town of Groningen. Unfortunately my morning was interrupted by unplanned conference calls as we walked through the quiet streets.

August 2014 -- We have been Holland residents for a full year! Time has flown by and we cannot believe that we are on the back nine of our adventure. While we are definitely getting the hang of things, the occasional surprises still manage to keep us on our toes. Jon and I have been writing down the "little things" that we love about Dutch life and those other things that we could do without.

It's a slight departure from our usual travel posts, but we thought it was a good time to reflect on our experiences over the past year.
