walkitoutLast night and tonight are Night of the Koemarkt, which is a free festival in Heerenveen. It ran past 1 am, and the crowds in the street drinking lasted much longer. I wound up getting up and reading for about an hour, then going back to bed and finally getting out the mask because when it was quiet, it was already light out. Oy. The things I fail to research ahead of time.
We had lunch with PJ, A. and J. at the Grand Cafe Park Hotel Tjaarda. It was very pleasant. I had kroketten, which I’ve never done before, but it looks like it should be generally safe and it was tasty. A.’s burger was spiced so she ate her fries and had Dame Blanche. R. had orangekoek for dessert; I forget what he ate. I had tea to drink. We talked a long time. A. almost fell as we returned to the cars, but someone (outside our group) helped catch her and she recovered quickly. She is an amazing woman, and it’s a lesson to me not to be distracted by PJ.
We went back to ShortStay Heerenveen, and left R. there to nap, while A. and I walked around the Saturday Market. I’d already been to several bakeries, but I found another and this one had an anise flavored frysk pastry, keallepoat.

R. and I went to the Madeline snackbar and chatted with the nice young woman who has traveled to Canada. We got fried kipstrips and patat with ketchup for A., who ate the chicken and saved the fries for later. Which might work; I have the small cooler sack and the ice pack. We’ll see. After we left her and her meal in the ShortStay, we went to PokeGuy, where I got the tuna sushirrito, which had surimi in it that briefly panicked me. It was reasonably tasty. R. got a poke bowl and he really enjoyed it. We stopped at a Jumbo where I finally got sukerbrod without milk products, and some more bananas and red grapes.
They’ve gone back to Valk. I’ve had my Duvel, and am thinking about the leftover kip satay from LA Bistro. But maybe that’s breakfast. I have a plan for lunch tomorrow (Den Hespel in Dongen), and I’ve already checked in and paid up for our StayCity in Marne La Vallee, where I got my upgrade to a 5 bedroom Villa, which is insane, but should be entertaining. We all have Disney tickets (altho not for tomorrow) and I’m excited to look out the window for several hours while being mildly blissed out on dramamine and Not Driving.
