Yesterday I used the local equivalent of Craig's List (http://Marktplaats.nl) and my meager Dutch to purchase a used bike seat for Eileen to use on the front of the bike. Now, as soon as we have a helmet that doesn't fall from her head, she and I will look even more Dutch than we did before.
Today I have the bike seat. Sold by a woman less than 5 km from my house for less than half the price of a new seat. This is hardly used. I promise to add a picture to this post in the not too distant future.
She even was kind enough to speak English to me when I sent an e-mail explaining that I spoke virtually no Dutch. I am so proud of actually managing to function in society (sort of).
