When Marije and Humphrey picked me up at the train station, which involved jumping out at me from behind a pole followed by lots of hugs, they wanted to know what I thought of their lovely country. I said I was disappointed because I hadn't seen a single pair of wooden shoes yet. My little joke prompted Marije to buy we a pair of miniature ones to hang on my backpack. How cute is that?
I stayed with Jennifer, who really wanted to make sure that I had a "Typically Dutch" experience. This involved seeing Dutch things (like "typically Dutch cows", canals, and lots of bicycles) and eating typically Dutch foods.
[typically Dutch houses along typically Dutch canals...]
[typically Dutch bridge over typically Dutch canal...]
[typically Dutch church tower...]
[typically Dutch gargoyle...] 
[typically Dutch sand castle representation of typically Dutch church tower...]
[Yup, it's a pretty good model...]
[typically Dutch street, with cyclists, of course...]
[typically Dutch food, which apparently includes crepes with tons of syrup... (That's Marije on the right.)]
And most importantly, my typically Dutch friends, Marije, Jennifer, and Humphrey.
I feel so Dutch now.

Lemme guess..en route to the typical dutch auction, you walked through the typical dutch doors. You passed on the opportunity to bid on a typical dutch oven. Went out to dinner, where it was typical dutch treat.
