We have about three hours before we head to Newark to go back to the Netherlands, so I thought I’d jot down a quick list of things that my vacation home has reminded me that I miss:
- Heat in the summer
- The sound of cicadas
- Tall leafy trees on both sides of the road
- Radio stations playing summer hits
- Barnes & Noble
- Shopping malls
- Best Buy
- Houses with yards
- Barbecues in the yard
- Mercer County summer ultimate
- Customer service
- Pop music stations
- The discount DVD rack
- Supermarkets the size of warehouses with wide lanes full of products and regular (large) sized shopping carts
- Playing poker with your friends
- HBO
- Driving a car
- Playing frisbee golf with Ken
- Ryan and Amy’s cooking
- Seeing my friends’ children
- Walking past Princeton University

Very poignant. Now when you get home, I expect a list of things you like about the Netherlands! 🙂

I’ve played poker with you here in the netherlands, which means either I’m not your friend, or we weren’t playing poker
(Though I did wonder why my bottom used to hurt afterwards).
