Hello, thank you for your response. I am fairly well traveled especially for someone from the USA. I have an affinity for the Netherlands and the people. I have dated a few Dutch ladies and traveled with a group of Dutch friends through Egypt. Would you like to see some photos? I can email them to you. Yes I have been to Amsterdam on many occasions but have spent much much more time in Arnhem which is about one hour via train from Amsterdam. My girlfriend lived in a house that was occupied by allied soldiers during WWII because as I am sure you know the Germans forces were in the area. The sweet old woman who owned the building still lived there and told me about how she fell in love with one of the British soldiers. She gave me a 5 Guilder coin which had the queen's face on both sizes of the coin. Would you like to hear any more of my stories from my time in Arnhem? Again thank you for your interest as I do enjoy making new friends and wish you a wonderful week.
