Aha! The Dutch have it too....it's beans 'n weenines!
Haven't tried it yet. I'm a little skeptical about the 'Bockworst' in a jar....
Went on the same bike route today through the park as yesterday. There were more people out than last time (meaning I actually saw people), and more bugs. The entire ride I was being comakazi-ed by flies and beetles and other insects. I didn't want to open my mouth for fear of getting bugs in my teeth. Also, there are these caterpillar like things that hang down from the trees by the silk they produce and when you go sailing past them on your bike they cling on you. Gross-o. Besides the bugs, it was a nice ride. I learned two new Dutch words during it too:
Veerooster- meaning either cow or sheep or cattle guard or something like that...
Fietspad- meaning bike path
So that brings my Dutch word count to what, four? Also, I found out today that I've been saying every city's name wrong.
Hoogeveen-Hoag (as in hoagy)- vein and you gurgle the 'h' too
Dwingeloo-Dwing-u (as in up)-low
Lhee-lay
ooops...
Anywho, here's a picture of the radio dish from the backside. It's no longer used for science purposes by the institute so amateurs get to use it for fun. So guess who's helping observe tomorrow night? Yup, that'd be me :)
Anyway, hopefully I'll have a more interesting post tomorrow.
-looks at first picture- yup, it's just funny English.

Wait, wait, I definitely just remembered that "Vieh," which looks like "Vee," means cattle in German!
