Festival Mundial

Last week we went to the Festival Mundial, a multicultural event in Tilburg. We enjoyed some great weather, wonderful performances and delicious food :-)

We went there with our friends Anouk & Dexon, (in)famous from our Barcelona videos and pics.

On sunday night the event closed with a superperformance from Oscar D'León (salsa). He's 66 years old, but meeeen can he sing and dance :-)

It was a great day, stay tuned for our video! For now, you can enjoy the video below (with thanks to rebaunchill)

Happy W-Day to us!

Time flies when you are having fun. Today it has already been 4 years ago that we got married in Bournemouth (UK)!

Happy W-Day to us :-)

And for the sentimental ones among us, below you can have a look at one of the first video's we ever made for our blog!

Meet buñuelo!

As promised: A short videoclip with the adventures of Buñuelo, the newest member of our family and probably the only bilingual cat in the neibourhood :-)

Busy busy busy busy

Hi there,

Yes, it has been quite a while since our last update, but have have been so busy with our house.. Painting, painting and more painting, aaaaaaahhhh.. The 3rd floor has (almost) been done now... So we have 2 more floors to go :-(

On the bright side, Andres parents and brother will visit us at the end of July, so we will have a beautiful home to welcome them in :-)

Buñuelo is doing great, the word "kattekwaad" (mischief) had been invented by him. Anyways, he is happy, eats everything (including moving things, such as insect and spiders), and ways about 2 kilos now!

We will try to write some more stuff soon and show you all the footage we have made from our baby Buñi until now :-)

Talk to you soon!

xx Andres & Eef

Andres goes Dutch!

Riding bicycle on a sunday afternoon, passing by mills and babbling the language bit by bit, Andres is getting the hang of it!

On thursday we will be celebrating Queens day, probably in orange so stand by for the pics! A great way to get "ingeburgerd".

Buñuelo is doing fine as well, we went to the vet for the first time last friday.

.

He's a healthy as a "fish" (haha) and weighs 1 kilo already! Currently he attacks everything that moves, so be aware when you come to visit us! :-)

Talk to you soon!

Hagelslag, Aguardiente & Buñuelo!

Meet the newest member of our family: Buñuelo :-)

No no no, we did not suddenly give birth to a baby, we have adopted a kitten! Next friday, the 3rd of April we will pick up Buñuelo and welcome him into our home!

PS: For all of you who are curious to know what Buñuelo means, click here or have a look at the video below :-)

Caloooorrrrrr

Last friday we went to the "Calor - Latin meets Afro-Caribean" party and enjoyed some of the best salsa, zouk and afro beats!

Yes we really have tropical music here in the Netherlands too :-)

Vive la Paris!

We just got back from our trip to Paris, we have been away for only 3 days, but boy have we seen a lot!

On the first day we left at 8:30 by bus from Den Bosch. We arrive in Paris around 5 p.m. because we had some delay.

We ate and went on a boat tour on the river Seine, beautiful to see Paris by night, the don't call it the city of light for nothing!

We arrived at the hotel at 11 p.m. and went straight to sleep, we were sooooo tired...

On saturday we left early to visit the Palace of Versailles, and then to have a "walk" through the center, damn our feet really hurt at the end of the day!

We walked about 7 hours, from the Opera to the Notre Dame, then from the Eiffel Tower to Arc de Triomphe and from there we walked all the way down Champs d'Elisees to the Louvre Museum..
At the end of the day we didn't even go out to eat, Andres already fell asleep on the way back to the hotel!

On the last days we visited le Moulin Rouge and the Sacre Coeur, and then we took the bus back to Holland.

It was a great trip, we recommend it to everybody!

Happy B-Day to me :-)

Hi everybody,

Thanks for all sms's, emails, e-cards, regular cards, Facebook and Hyves messages!

I really feel like it's my birthday today with all these messages from all over the world :-)

Thanks a lot!!!!

XOXO Eef

Paris here we come!!!

Ieieieieieieieieeeeee! We just booked a citytrip to Paris :-)

We will be leaving on 20 february 2009 and will stay there for 3 days!!!

We will be missing the Dutch Carnaval though, but hey... You just can't have it all... And we prefer Paris!!

Stay tuned for the pics (and video ;-))

CubaTen

We were planning to finish painting the rest of our house last weekend, but on sunday we didn't feel very active so we went to CubaTen's Zzzondagmiddag-matinee.. An afternoon full of dance, cuban salsa and horrible mojito's...

Usually mojito's are one of my favorite drinks, but this one tasted far from what a mojito is supposed to taste.. :-( But apart from that, it was a very nice lazy sunday afternoon!

Alltough we are happy to have moved to Holland, we have to admit that sometimes we feel "homesick" and miss Barcelona a lot, sometimes we even miss the UK, and we haven't been there for 3 years..

Well.... Maybe we'll go back some day... Just to visit though, the only country we will be moving to is Colombia, in a far future!

Newsflash!

Hi again,

Yes yes, it took us quite some time to upload a new video but here it is!

We have been very busy, because in December we got the keys to our house, Tati visited us, and we had to study for our exams..

But life is finally getting good overhere :-)
Andres is starting to get the hang of the Dutch language, and got a 1-year contract at his work!
