This weekend we had a great time hosting two young girls from The Netherlands. Renske and Marjoleine are touring the US with the organization Atlantic Bridge and needed a place to stay during their stop over in Pittsburgh. We were thrilled to oblige.
I was amazed at how quickly they bonded with my kids. Jonah, especially, was just smitten with the attention bestowed on him by these two teenage beauties. Olivia was intrigued by their fashion-sense and their love of shopping. In fact we accompanied them to the malls two days in a row. They really loved Urban Outfitters at the SSW.
During their stay, Renske and Marjolein were introduced to bagels, corn on the cob (which they didn't like), frozen blueberries (a family favorite) and Star Wars. We, in turn, were introduced to a little bit of culture from the Netherlands. Who knows, maybe someday we'll get to visit and experience it all first hand.
