Zephyr Illusions photo by donna October 1992. The view atop Chasseral, Jura Mountains looking across Switzerland to The Alps on the horizon. Fog, intensely thick, rising from Lac Bienne and stretching its fingers high onto the Lignières-Plateau de Diesse after wholly filling the valley below the plateau.

  1. yup, i'm going to make a driving tour around The Netherlands including all the way up to Groningen and Friesland. quite adventurous of me as an American to want to experience more of Holland than just Amsterdam, eh? lol :p
    thanks for the suggestion!.... i've put Cafe de Toeter on my list-of-things-to-do-and-places-to-see :) but, what does it mean "brown cafe"?

    btw, my body may be getting older, but my mind and spirit are still young.
    =D

  2. oh, ok, cool.... bruine kroeg is more my style than disco-type clubs. good to learn this terminlogy, bedankt :)

    i'm arriving The Netherlands 8 september for 21 nights. i'm planning to spend 5 nights in A'dam, then to Utrecht for 5 nights, then up to Groningen for another few nights and then.... lol, i'm not sure of my itinerary.
    i'm really looking forward to this trip. i've been a loooong time trying to make it happen. hehehe, maybe finally, besides meeting Golden Earring, i'll also have those klompen that i've wanted since i was a teen :p
