Riemst, Limburg

Hello! I am currently on a bench, taking in the Belgian scenery. It is a very nice view, with rolling hills and a lot of grass. We just saw the chateau in the area, and it is just a old castle. We are also taking a walk, so I must leave this bench.

Yours truly,

Dorrel

Maastricht, The Netherlands

Hello! I am currently on a couch, relaxing to some music. The adults are chatting about things pertaining to them, while Sis and Lucie are playing some badminton. Well, we are going to Amsterdam very soon, and I cannot wait to be distracted by something new. Maybe I should join the girls in badminton. Welp, time to stop journaling, and do something. Goodbye!

Yours,

Dorrel

Note: The adults were doing too much chatting to take photos at our friends’ house. Regrettably, the badminton was not captured. -SSH
