A sunny day with our friends in Maastricht

Mid September we booked a night in Maastricht and profited to reconnect with our American friends there for 24h.  

On Friday night they took us out to an excellent tiny Middle East restaurant where we were spoilt by the chef and his wife with excellent food. It was so good! Probably one of those restaurants you'd not find if it were not thanks to some locals.  

The next day we hang out again and after some coffees at home, we went for a stroll downtown.  After some snooping around at the flea market and doing a little shopping, we had lunch outdoors since it was a gorgeous late summer weekend. 

The boys were on a mission though and keeping an eye on the clock since they really wanted to visit the Natural History Museum that would open at 1PM.  So all of us headed that direction in the afternoon. I learned so much about the massive fossiles found in the river valley. 

It was a gorgeous day in a fun city with good friends. Perfect!
