Spring is Here!

So excited that it's getting warmer so we can get back out and enjoy the city more!  We've had a few things going on over the past couple weeks since I last wrote.  My girlfriend, Kellie, came to visit us again!  She will likely be the only visitor that will have visited twice while we are here.  We are lucky that her company's European office is only 20 minutes away from our house.  We went on many long walks along the river and through the city and it was also St. Patty's Day weekend so we went out for dinner and drinks to celebrate along with Steve and Sarah.
We have also recently discovered a few new restaurants here in Maastricht including La Bodega - a Spanish Tapas restaurant, Gio's - an excellent Italian restaurant, and Pakhoes - a French restaurant where Jamie and I celebrated my birthday.
This past weekend we had beautiful sunny weather so we were very excited to get our bikes out for the season!  I took a bike trip with two neighbor ladies in the morning around Belgium and the Southern part of the Netherlands and then took a bike ride with Jamie later in the afternoon to the city of Valkenburg.  All in all I biked 70 kilometers . . a lot of fun but not recommended for the first ride of the season . .  my butt is a little sore today!!!  :)
 Happy Spring!
