The old fart has returned.

Well, that’s not totally true. The guy has returned and he is old but he most certainly is not a fart. That is way to disrespectful. He is one of the nicest guys I’ve ever met. Who am I talking about? SINTERKLAAS (Saint Nicholas) of course, who else. He arrived today, by steamboat, in Sneek and he will stay in the Netherlands until December, 6^th. On that day he will travel back to his summer residence in Spain. You are probably wondering what I’m talking about, but I’m talking about one of the nicest Dutch traditions. There is a great article on Wikipedia about this tradition and the celebration.
If you are interested, you can find it here.

Welcome back Sinterklaas, I hope your stay will be pleasant!
See you soon!
