One day last week I took a different way home and lo and behold right there in front of me was an aqueduct that I had to drive through in my car. I was so surprised and excited I quickly snapped a few pictures.
Monday night we went bowling with friends. Upon arrival we noticed the parking lot was guarded by a very long arm gate. This seemed a little over the top, but no one asked my opinion. Inside we found a dispenser for Pringles, which also seemed a little over the top and VERY expensive, and still my opinion was not asked, nor did my kids ask to get any. Yes, they do have 2 Euro coins in Europe.
Once inside we felt like we were in America. The cashier spoke English. The lane beside us spoke English. The shoes fastened with velcro. 6 Euros a person = shoes + 1 game. The bowling balls were Brunswick brand, labeled with the same numbering system and size as the USA. Gutter guards were not present, however we did use the kid dinosaur ramp a few times for fun.
The score keeper computer system reminded us of home. I noticed the bowling etiquette of waiting your turn from adjoining lanes to throw your own ball down the lane was not followed. (One child mentioned maybe it was a rule from the 80’s….teenagers!) We had a great time and enjoyed hanging out with friends and Alli on her 25th birthday.
