Another Dutch find of Sue's. I would make a joke about hallucinogens, but my mom reads this blog. (Everyone, wave hello to my mom!)

Annie found this truly terrifying basement. Yes, that's a basement. To be fair, the listing does say that there's a "BASEMENT FULL OF WATER." And look -- there it is! So we'll have to find something else to pick on... like... um... this!


No, never mind, the listing also says that "BASKET BALL COURT FL NEEDS TO BE REPLACED."

Wait.

What?
