Monday, April 15

   The Continental  Breakfast at the hotel was very good...so European...
   The bus arrived at 9:am,we arrived at the school at 9:45 , had coffee.
   The class began with Jacqueline welcoming everyone,telling about the schedule . She introduced us to our instructor Petra van der Veen is charming. She demonstrated the remaining morning European Hand Tied designs, many styles and techniques,in and out of armatures .
   There is a lovely bar and eating area on site,with an outdoor patio for fresh air and sun. Again it was a bit overcast ,and around 65 degrees. Lunch each day is included in the cost which is always homemade so sandwiches,great bread and drink of coffee,tea,milk juices.there are Dutch cookies and cheeses.
   After lunch the students helped divide the products for the practical part of the lass.They all began with the same products and ended with beautiful custom designs. they each experimented with the styles and flowers provided which were so fresh and beautiful. At 4:00 we rushed to clean up, jump on the bus for the hotel. The structured part of the trip was over for one day,they were on their own. The students split in many groups,different Mose every day. They all made instant friends with each other.
