We had an appointment at Delft station. This is the view of the skyline of Rotterdam, seen from my (rainy) train window

Detail of skyline

John and Nancy inside Nieuwe Kerk in Delft, where the royal family lies burued

John actually lost his baret, so they later bought a new cap, badly needed for him due to the low temparatures and the absence of insulating hair

Burial memorial of the Oranjes at Nieuwe Kerk, designed by Hendrik de Keyser, architect of the Dam Palace in Amsterdam

Nancy and John again in their water tight jacks

William of Orange is standing in the burial memorial

Entrance to the vault below the memorial

William of Orange on his (marmour) death bed, with his loyal doggy

Stained glass window from 1933, dedicated to the Oranjes

Another fine window in Nieuwe Kerk

Pulpit

Oude Kerk in Delft, much lighter then Nieuwe Kerk. Here Vermeer was buried for some time. He lived very near by at Voldersgracht

Nancy in the distance

Another mirroring scene

Tower of Nieuwe Kerk

Rotterdam Stadhuisplein. John standing next to the very first car I ever had, a Fiat Cinquecento. Way back in 1961.
John is carrying a painting he made back home and which he carried all the way to give to me. Later on there are photos I made of this painting.

Nancy. I actually went on a vacation to Spain with this car, with 4 people inside (!!!)

Nancy and John at my place in Rotterdam. They said they recognised it from the pictures I made

John's from New York, Long Island

Nancy is a gifted photographer

She's got a Canon digital camera

John very at ease at the by now very famous couch

A very scenic photo of a very scenic part of very scenic Rotterdam (lol)

While the rain came tumbling down, Nancy and John walked, where during the summer was the Boompjes beach

Attending a well deserved dinner at (now well known) restaurant Het Gesprek

John (a very gifted painter) made this painting for me!! It's Erasmus bridge with me in front taking pictures. So good, that John never saw Erasmus Bridge other then via photos. I really am proud to have received this painting. I also recognize myself !!!
They took this painting with them from the USA, carrying it also the whole rainy day in Delft and Rotterdam !!!!

John is 'addicted' to oil paint. I must admit you get much more effect then with acryl. You more or less add a dimension to a painting. look at the way he depicted the waves. Virginia rules the waves for me from now on.

My hair also has more 'depth ' now.
