Big Surprise Gastronomically :)

Expected a quaint picnic type of atmosphere and found elegance, bright & beautiful surroundings, great service and delicious food and drink. The Jonge Dikkert (translated to English is ' the young fatty!) in Amstelveen. Double thumbs up!

THE Train: Another GREAT Thing About Europe

Alex and I left Schiphol train station in The Netherlands at 2:30 and were at our hotel in Paris at 6:30! A taxi then took us to a secret door on Avenue George V, behind which we wound our way down the secret stair case to the old horse stables. There, underground, was a tasting of 12 wines- all or many from Maison Louis Jadot. Delicious and interesting. Dinner at 11:3opm - you have to love that! J'aime Paris! A bien tot!

(Now, I hope we can get public transport advanced in the U.S.!)
