Boating in July...

We only went boating twice in July. The first time was on a beautiful Friday evening with Bob, while Lisa was out of town helping ensure the integrity of elections in Eastern Europe.

I never grow tired of the beauty of Leiden. 

The second time was with Carlin and Ashlynn.

Technically Ashlynn was still in quarantine from her return from Namibia, where she was COVID tested twice before getting on the airplane. Since Carlin had recently moved in with us while waiting for her UK visa to be approved, we really were a family bubble.

We enjoyed showing Ashlynn some of the smaller canals that we had discovered while she was away.

Jimmy had finally perfected his system to keep the beanbag chairs from getting damp.

A few days later, Ashlynn took another official COVID test to release early from quarantine, which came back negative. So she and Jimmy went back to Leiden to go stand up paddleboarding, which they really enjoyed.
