Jaap Rameijer's Blog

Great news, my friends, great news. My dear friend Abraham Tol has done it again. This master of the Internet has created another masterpiece. My new website. Or rather my renewed website.

Have a look. have a look and browse my site: www.jaap-adventures.com. And most of all enjoy!

Enjoy the pictures, enjoy the newsletters, enjoy the books and articles. You know, just looking at my website makes me happy. It is so beautiful.

My dear friend Abraham has advised me to change the technology behind my website for more security and also to be able to communicate in a friendlier manner on mobile devices, it is call responsive I believe. It means that my site will be rendered on mobile devices, wide screens, laptops and desktops in a manner of the sizing of the screen of my friends and visitors. Also we have decided on a new bloggin engine to which on can subscribe for all my entries or a specific category, if you do so you will receive an email from me in case there is a new publication on my site. 

Twice a year I go to Holland, driving my own car. To visit my children and grandchildren, to see the publisher, to give my car a good overhaul, to see my friends and to do some shopping. And often to give a presentation, this time on Orbs at Op Hodenpijl in Schipluiden.

And also to act as deliveryman, bringing wines and Blanquette de Limoux, home made sambal and goods from Joke’s shop Renaissance to Holland. And taking back all those special things from Holland, like my new books, DVD’s, peanut butter, lots of stuff from the Toko and more, much more.

On the way up and on the way down, I always try to visit new places, interesting places. Or places I want to see again.

This trip was special. In many ways. I took my time, three days, going up and three days going down. And saw how beautiful France is. And I stayed a bit longer in Holland and saw how beautiful Holland is. And I met some wonderful old and some wonderful new girlfriends. All very, very special. Join me on this trip and I will tell you, and show you, day by day, what happened. Enjoy dear friends, enjoy!

My book "Verschil moet er zijn" (Man and Woman sharing differences) is accepted by my publisher Aspekt for release  in the Fall of 2013. And is available as you read this.

I met Marie France in 1995 in Rennes-le-Château. She was the owner of the famous restaurant La Pomme Blue. A very gifted painteré and an excellent cook. Her dining room, there were not many tables, was covered with paintings of her. It was magic. Can you imagine?

To be in Rennes-le-Château, one of the most magical places in the world, on top of a hill with a magnificent view all around, in a lovely restaurant or outside on the cosy veranda, next to one of the oldest castles in France, the Chateau Hautpoul, with her beautiful paintings on the wall and eating the most delicious salads while drinking a glass of cold Rosé.
