Francien & Jan


Another couple who were left off the blog last fall are Francien & Jan, from Amsterdam.
On the day of their arrival, I was a bit concerned to see them arriving (much, much later than they had anticipated) by taxi, with no luggage.
They'd had an accident on a remote highway, and were just coming from the hospital, where they had been examined in the E.R. Luckily, nothing broken; only bruises.
I immediately put on a pot of soup and found a way for Jan to retrieve their luggage from their demolished car, now in the local towing lot.
He returned with a bottle of wine to share with the others staying at the house, and everyone decompressed in the evening. The next day I drove them to the rental office for another car, and they stayed a couple of days.
Jan and Francien are a beautiful couple who run a B&B in Holland, just outside of Amsterdam, a place which is definitely on my "to-do" list!
