Last week started with the baseball game in Leidsche Rijn and the
balloon of doom. I took this picture on the way to the game. The city has installed sensors in the "ribbon" around the park, which track times for runners. Pretty high tech!

On Sunday, we took it pretty easy, but did venture out for a short walk. I snapped this picture of a bicycle overgrown by a vine. If we stored our bikes in our garden, I'm sure they would have succumbed to this fate long ago.

| July 31 - Overgrown |
Monday, I headed over to Kanaleneiland to pick up some clothes storage bags at IKEA. On the way back, I took some pictures of a familiar construction site. In a few years, this will be home to the new
Vredenburg concert hall, if I have my info correct.

| Aug. 1 - Concert Hall |
On Tuesday, I ventured into Gouda. I had read about the beautiful stained glass in the
Sint Janskerk and finally made time to see it for myself. The age, amount, and quality of the stained glass was amazing, and I'm glad I squeezed in this touristy trip. The church did not permit photography inside, but you can see some photos of the glass on the church's website (linked above). Here is a peek of the church from a few blocks away.

Wednesday, I finally started to make some preparations for our flight home. I marked the date on the calendar and began the process of packing our clothes.

| Aug. 3 - Almost Home |
Thursday, I spent some time walking around and taking pictures of some of our favorite local stores. I also snapped quite a few shots of
vacation signs. I liked this broodjes sign as it is a reminder of typical Dutch food.

| Aug. 4 - Broodjes |
On Friday, we wrapped up the week with a trip to
Sunshine, an Ethiopian restaurant. I wish we had tried the restaurant earlier, because it was really good. In the picture below, you can see a shot of the
coconut beer I tried. Unfortunately, I was so enthusiastic about the food, I forgot to take any pictures of our actual meal.
