Yesterday I was super duper Dutch! I rode my bike into town (about 5 km…not so far) to run some errands, the most important of which was to obtain a gift for Arrie’s cousin’s new baby girl (we drove all the way to Amsterdam to see them last night…2 hours one way…in the evening…sooo tired). While in town, I purchased some things at a couple of different stores and then selected an adorable dress set for the baby along with some pretty flowers for Mommy. I also got myself some beautiful peonies, on sale three bunches for the price of two (one bunch was 3.50…so lots and lots of peonies for only 7 euros).

On the way home, my humble American bike was packed to the brim. I felt sooooooo Dutch (sort of). Funny thing is: I didn’t get a single strange look! :-)

The saddle bags were full of odds and ends, along with the flowers. The green bag was the baby gift. I wore the red bag on the seat across my shoulders. What fun! :-)
