This past weekend we were invited to a Margarita party at the home of my friend Rachel, her husband Barry - and their dog bordeau, Ruby. Dordrecht is a lovely town near Rotterdam, and also the home of my friend Elizabeth and her husband Wim. Dordrecht is also the oldest town in Holland (this is where you need to understand the difference between Holland and the Netherlands) and Rachel and Barry live in a gorgeous home right in the center, with the Rhine on one side, and a canal which serves as a marine to some pretty nice looking boats on the other. They've renovated this property (and it has since been listed as a historic building) and it is quite different than most of the traditional-style buildings in Wassenaar.
I didn't get any shots of the city (although we plan to return to explore a bit further so I'll get them then) as we had to get to our party, and the weather when we arrived was a bit blah. Imagine just a lovely European village with cobblestones and canals, and very well-maintained homes on either side of the canals, and along the Rhine.
We had a lovely afternoon of Margaritas, great food and great company.

Alex doesn't appear to be drinking a Margarita! You can take the Limey out of the brewery, but....
