Our third day in Holland, we rented bikes. We rode the bikes through a huge field called De Bussumse Hei (Hei refers to the purple Heather plant in Dutch). We made a stop to get near some cows that were roaming around on the field. Then, we rode our bikes to a restaurant called La Place, where we met my aunt and uncle, Ineke and Wim.
After eating lunch we biked on to the Poffertjeskraam. It is a seasonal restaurant that only opens in the summer. It is a portable wooden building that used to travel around to different cities during the year, but now only stays in one spot. The restaurant only has two things on the menu: poffertjes and wafelen. Poffertjes are like mini-mini-pancakes and wafelen are big waffles. The oven where the waffles are baked is 100 years old. After they are made they are topped off with a slab of butter and tons of powdered sugar. Mmm...
Later that evening, after taking a long nap to recuperate from the biking we went to work with my dad. My dad wanted to show Matt the studio he works at where they record the news. He showed Matt how everything works. We even took pictures on the set.
