Joplin is nestled in the scenic
Southwest corner of Missouri
on the edge of the Ozark
Mountains, therefore the title "Gateway To The Ozarks"
is fitting.
There is a "small town" friendliness and charm about the
city, which I love.
It's a great
place to live

Den
Haag has always been a royal city, since the dukes of Holland started to build
their hunting lodge (the Binnenhof) in the year 1250.
Every 3rd Tuesday in September is "Prinsjesdag".
The Queen comes
to the Binnenhof in a golden carriage, drawn by 8
horses.

Merced is centrally located
in the state, in the heart of the
San Joaquin Valley.
The City of
Merced has one of the finest city bikeway systems in the
nation and has recently added a number of new lanes and
routes to this extensive system.

Benicia sits on the waterfront of Carquinez
Strait, and has miles & miles of trails, parks that can be walked with your
animals.
This is a pet friendly town
The first day I arrived here
I fell in love with the
beauty of it.

J'habite au Mans, en France,
où
je suis née.
Le Mans est célèbre pour sa course de voiture "Les 24
heures du Mans".
C'est une ville médiévale, avec un vieux centre ville. I used
to see André Rieu there every year in Concert, to Antarès, a building
like a flying saucer

Im Januar 2002 war unser 1. Konzert und wir fahren schon fast
4 Jahre zu den Konzerten.
Es sind viele Freundschaften auf der ganzen Welt entstanden.
Andre bringt die Menschen
mit seiner Musik zusammen.

I really believe Andre
outdid himself with this concert it was spectacular,
and we cannot wait to get the DVD, so that we can
understand what he said. We thought the "Three Tenors"
were a great addition. Eat your heart out Pavarotti,
Domingo and Carreras!

We left the dinner at nine for the Vrijthof and found
our way to our seats. In the meantime the rain showers
had stopped and the clouds gave way to a blue sky. Andre
must have had a talk with St. Peter again, as the weather turned out to be
beautiful all weekend long.
John & Bobbie ~

We met
Pierre.
What a hard worker he is,
André must be very proud of him.
The sight over the Vrijthof was magnificent, everything
was illuminated in different colours,
and it was like a fairytale.
