If you noticed that Anna was absent from the trip to Iowa and the wedding pictures, it was because she was on an organ tour in the Netherlands with other organ students from Dordt University. She did drive to Iowa with us, but the day after we arrived she flew out of Sioux Falls to Amsterdam. Anna shared the pictures with me, but I don't know much other than that she had a great experience playing on these beautiful historic organs.

A couple from our church happened to be in Alkmaar at the same time Anna was playing at this church, so they were able to see her and hear her play. No, I'm not jealous at all.

| I thought it was so cool that these old organs had spots for candles so the organists could see their music before the days of electricity. |

They went to one church in Germany but otherwise stayed just in the Netherlands.
