Dutch Wonderland
Is it a sin to covet your neighbor's groceries? If so, I'm in trouble.
Even though both countries are use the euro currency, Holland is much cheaper than France for the exact same groceries. Not only that, but they have a much wider selection here than is available in France. I discovered this last year, and bought as much as I could fit in the gaps of my duffel bag last January. Knowing I was coming again this year, I eagerly planned for what I could bring back to France with me next week. Since I've arrived, my friends George and Muriel Thomassen (N. Dakota district) have been fixing me to some wonderful treats (last night: caramel fondue and fruit for dessert!), and my list of things to take back has grown longer. Yesterday I strolled through a grocery store to see what all was available, and I was salivating before I left the store: cheese dip, waffles, chili peppers, rolos, Campbell's soup, gravy mix, chinese dinner mixes, and more.
I just don't have enough room in my luggage!
