After we got back from Paris, Will’s friend from high
school, Emily, came to visit. We mostly stayed around Cologne, but one day we
ventured out to Aachen to go to the Lindt chocolate outlet. Aachen is only about 15 minutes away from the
Netherlands and Belgium border, so we decided to check out the Drielandenpunt (three land point). The Drielandenpunt was just outside of the
city Vaals and was located in a national (although I guess it would really be
international) park. The park also
contained the highest point in the Netherlands. We went to the top of a lookout
tower, but the only way to really know which country we were in was to look at
our cell phones for roaming as we walked through the park.
This past weekend we went back to the Netherlands with some
of our German friends. They took us to a town called Venlo to visit a grocery
store that carries some more American products than the stores in Germany. We
found Dr. Pepper and real cheddar cheese!
