Groeten Uit Nederland: Greetings from The Netherlands

The Netherlands, historically famous for its windmills, the tulip flower and the clogs; in American pop culture, the Dutch city Amsterdam stands out, thanks to Quentin Tarantino’s ‘Pulp Fiction’ starring John Travolta and Uma Thurman.

This constitutional monarchy under the rule of Queen Beatrix is also on the Cavinti Diaspora map with Maryjane  Ramos Voet,  Maribel Rancap Ausma, Norie Principe van Diujvenbode,  and the Ramos sisters Lourdes and Mercy, all from Lumot;  Alissa and Jocelyn (Salinday) both surnamed Ramos from Bagumbayan Ibaba living there.

Still loosely organized, the Cavinti diaspora in The Netherlands find time to visit with each other, reported Maryjane  Ramos Voet (pictured below with her children), who is also acting as our correspondent from the Land of the Windmills.
