Self portrait

as you can see behind us (perhaps) this is at the niagara falls where we were last month. it was so very cold!  for us, it was the first meeting with real cold this season. luckily i was prepared and was wearing a real winterjacket.... unlike when we were in the netherlands last week; i assumed it would be as cold as in boston, but now i remember again that the last month of the year definitely is colder in holland than here (i now clearly remember being very surprised about that the first year we were in boston; everyone had scared me with the mountains of snow that could fall here, and how very, very cold it would be and then... i didnt need my winter coat until january!). the past weekend it was really quite warm here, and monday it was almost 15 degrees! but as the week progressed, it slowly got colder and colder, i read something about a possibility of snow next week.... lets see!

Un bel autoportrait...
Les chutes du Niagara doivent vraiment être impressionnantes...

So sweet, you two look well wrapped up and very happy. You need a real wintercoat here at the moment, yesterday was an iceday, temperatures stayed below zero.

Hello there. You never know with the weather. We had -14 a few days ago and today it +1C and some snow even started to melt away, but then it started to snow again...

Hey, look who is here! Yes, it does look very cold. I was in Amsterdam last December and it wasn't as cold as New England. You just can't tell . . .
