Week 2. Het begint te wennen.

January 12, 2021

Het werkzame leven begint te wennen. De kou van Monteverde ook. Vreemd genoeg. Wellicht interessanter is dat we deze week onverwacht kennis hebben gemaakt met het lokale wild, de enige open pizzeria hebben gevonden en onze auto hebben laten wassen. … More Week 2. Het begint te wennen.
