It's another day in Holland, dear sisters...good morning!
It rained hard yesterday, starting just as we were leaving for a day in Utrecht. This is a pilgrimage of sorts for me, I always visit a spellbinding museum there filled with music boxes, from small pill boxes all the way to giant dance caliopies. This time, there was a special exhibit from the emperor of China, the forbidden city. Wow! I have never seen such treasures!
Then a long walk thru the rain to the train museum, housed in an old station. It was beautiful! Many magnificent old train cars...including the Royal carriage (it's the first time I've lived in a country with a Royal Family...lol!) And there, in the center, was an ice skating rink, filled with happy, squealing children!
So, another morning starting. Today we go to market to buy our food for the next week. This is an outside market, every Friday and Saturday, rain, snow, or shine! We have great friends there as vendors...the fruit man's great-grandfather sold fruit to my Hans' great-grandfather!!!
Dutch hugs,
Kathi
