Trad's April Visit
Posted: Fri 13th May 2011 04:02 am
First off, sorry for going missing for so long… 
.to many things to tend to after so long away.
I have read many great reports on the happenings and events in and around 420 (thanks to all for the kind remarks) and can not really add much to the aforementioned reports...having been in a very high and often very inebriated state
, the bagful of mushrooms (donated by a fellow ACDer) sure helped to erase a few brain cells also. Shrooms being illegal I shall mention no names but, many thanks go out to you from myself and Big Dan…they were a fu*king blast...
I would like to thank everyone who attended the festivities for making it one of the most enjoyable, memorable and fun filled times of my ever extending life. To try and name, let alone thank, all of those that I met over the 31 days that I was there would be impossible and probably embarrassing as I would inevitably forget someone. I would like to extend Special Thanks to a few…. to Lemming for setting the whole thing in motion and bringing us all together for this great event…. to Hestia whose organizational skills are only surpassed by her culinary skills and the lady who is the heart of this wonderful gathering…. to HB for making the boat trip so easy to organize for me and the great tour…. to Gapie, what can I say to you man, you became my guide, my translator and my very good friend. Thanks Stan.
I started to keep notes from day one of this extended visit and all went well up until the 19th of April when I noticed that I had 2 days dated the 14th and 2 days dated the 16th. Suffice it to say that when BigGuy arrived on the 16th there were 67 empty coffeeshop bags under the coffee table in the apartment and when we left on May 2nd there were 154 baggies, 6 empty Bailey’s bottles, 10 wine bottles and a small pile of beer cans.
I shall not bore you all with a day by day account because much has already been covered in Travelogues and I am basically lazy. I will, however, be posting reports on a couple of special days. One being the visit to The Canadian War Cemetery in Holten (by train) with Gapie and Bleak (who took over 300 photos of the day) and the other is the drive to Leeuwarden vie the Naval Museum in Den Helder with Big Dan and Gapie. Both trips include visits to coffeeshops along the routes. These will be posted when I get a couple of days to work on my scatter brain notes.
Once again…..THANKS ACD.
