Adventures in Arnhem

M and I just got back from a child-free weekend. We dropped the kids off in Dordrecht and drove to Arnhem, M's old college town, and our old stomping ground.

We had a fantastic weekend-- spent a lot of time eating uninterrupted (warm!) dinners and enjoying good wines and coffee.

Yesterday borrowed white bicycles and cycled through the Hoge Veluwe national park. The Kroller Muller museum is situated in the middle of the park, 11 km from the entrance, so if you want to see some good art you first have to do a real work out! (Which is really my kind of thing!!!)

In addition to the wide variety of paintings and busts there is a 25 hectare sculpture garden. We saw a fantastic exhibit by Atelier van Lieshout-- very bizarre stuff, but fun to browse through!

Back in Brussels and sorting through laundry, suitcases, etc. Feel completely refreshed and look forward to a new week...
