The heat is making me regret not buying that air conditioner.

Yesterday, beautiful weather in the Low Lands. We had dinner in the garden,
pasta with a great tomato sauce and tomato salad.
What would life be without tomatoes ?

Oh my God !!!! Just here, in this little gem (Nijmegen) in the center of Europe, where I ended up, once a year something really amazing happens: approximately 40,000 people, coming from all over Europe, walk 50 km per day, for 4 days! Other 500,000 people flood the city, because everynite it’s a party in the streets of Nijmegen. I’ll join the 500,000 drinkers, rather than the 40,000 walkers; maybe next year I’ll walk…
