Time is flying. Although Johan intended not to celebrate his birthday Michiel Suzanne and jeroen decided not to listen to daddy. So we had a nice evening. I got a very nice present: The first custom made TolStream T-shirt.
We enjoy being in Holland because lots of friends and family find their way to Abbenes.
This month Septenber turned out one of the warmest Septembers since decades. Maybe we might expect a long hot winter..
Love from Lia and Johan
We are sorry being so sloppy with updating our site. Anyway the movers arrived (finally) and we managed to convert a house in Abbenes to our home. Abbenes is a small hamlet close to Schiphol airport. You might see it from above flying in to Amsterdam. Nice open areas and beautiful views. Totally different to the packed Istanbul scene.
Lia started her new job as account manager with Retail Property Management (RPM) in Delft and Johan established his own company: TolStream.
As you can see we enjoyed the company of lots of people who wanted to see us again. Especially the grandchildren are very happy. Our home has a big yard. So we got last week two 3 months old kittens. Pasa is a little guy and Kedi is his sister. You will see more of them.
Love from Lia and Johan from a sunny Abbenes (23 degrees and counting...)
Hello everybody. We are back in the air after a great trip to the Middle America's. Enjoy the pictures. First of all we put the images on our site and next update we inform you about our settling in in Abbenes.
While our furniture was shipped to Holland we spend most of the month August travelling through Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama. Due to tropical weather those countries are a huge botanical garden with millions of different plants and animals and the nice thing about this is ... all of this is not fenced.
We booked our journey with Fox and our group counted 10 people. We travelled around in a mini bus and Douwe was our guide during our tour. He is an botanical engineer and could tell us many interesting things about the beautiful nature. We spend the nights in hotels. Lots of rain forrests but also we spend several days at the Pacific and Caribien beaches. Late August we returned to Holland. You can see various aspects we caught in the images. Out of more than 1.500 pictures we show just a couple...
Next update (coming up) we tell some more about Abbenes and surroundings..
Love from Lia and Johan
