To sell or not to sell?

Our tennants in Utrecht are moving out.  Understandably they are heading back to the sunny, dare I say more hospitable, skies of Italy.

We now have a dilemma.

Do we do the “smart” thing and continue to let someone else pay off our mortgage? Or do we sell, take the money and run, effectively severing all ties to our beloved Nederland.  Whichever path we choose, it should involve a trip to Europe at the end of January.

Thoughts?

Hard to believe we lived here in 2007…..

The Oudegracht. Our street/canal:

My beautiful roof garden.  Good times were had here:

p.s have been inspired by Dooce to provide update letters to Annabel. She writes a letter to her daughter every month. Sounds cheesy but it’s actually fantastic to follow: http://www.dooce.com I’m going to try yearly because a) I can’t write - check out her site and you’ll see what I mean and b) I have a job and a baby which is severly limiting my self obsession time.
