Dutch Delight

Amsterdam proved to be the gallant theatre of intertwining canals I had imagined. The tight quarters of narrow streets, bridges, squares and crowds made for quite the spectacle. In our experience, we managed to marvel at Heineken's marketing prowess, tour the city by boat, appreciate van Gogh's talents, and walk through the densely populated parks.

The next day we rented a vehicle and headed out toward Friesland which reminded us of the prairies with its sprawling farmlands and massive barns. But now windmills and more herds of cows and sheep were added. In Witmarsum, we found Menno Simons street and had completed a Mennonite Mecca of sorts. After this we experienced the historic and beautiful windmills of Zaanse Schans.

Fun times with Dan and Danielle

Next stop was Bruges, which was a whole new beauty. But I'll save that for another time! 

Goodnight.
