Holland:


While stationed at Ramstein AFB, Germany, we took a family trip to Holland.  Patty was left behind with a young couple since she was so little.


We stayed in the home of Madame Von Vliet (?) and with the rooms came breakfast.  A breakfast I remember was a soft boiled egg & guess something like a bread or some thing but I don't remember what.  Do remember it wasn't like what we were used to.


Not sure when in the trip that Mom got sick but she got very ill and Madame called in a doctor and she took care of Mom.  I think it was food poisoning from mushroom soup she had at a place called Cozy Corner (?).  There weren't US military facilities there so Dad had to pay the Dutch doctor.  Money was short after than and we pretty much ate French fries bought at stands as the boys and Dad and I went sightseeing.  I remember that once we got back to Germany I just could not stand to eat French fries for a very long time.


Do remember the miniature village/city at some city there.  Very intricate and amazing.  And we did go somewhere that most of  the people did actually wear wooden shoes and costumes from the past.  Rotterdam?  Long time ago - lol.
