All I needed was your warm encouragement! :-)<br /><br />Vincent - I regret that we never made it to The Hague, which was originally on our itinerary. It would have been wonderful to see the rural Holland you mention. Next time, perhaps. Or at least, I hope. Since I can't get away for ten days ever other than in summer, the tulip season trip will have to wait until I am very old! :-) <br /><br />It's wonderful to have you visit here. I am in awe of your writing!

I still wonder whether K & I would prefer other destinations in Holland: perhaps Rotterdam (despite the absence of any old buildings there, flattened in the war) Leiden, the Hague etc.<br /><br />But your well-chosen set of pictures and words do help remind me what it's like, and how worthy of a day-trip it is, if one is staying not too far away. I would have to come to see the Van Gogh Museum.<br /><br />Part of me hankers for an older more rural Holland. I lived in Arnhem for a few months in 1947, when I was 5. Milk was delivered by horse and cart, poured from a tap into jugs which the householders would leave outside the door. Times of austerity when the Germans had not long ceased their wartime occupation.Vincenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18297306807695767580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2512858685634922680.post-72553964155962223542011-07-25T22:00:03.524-04:002011-07-25T22:00:03.524-04:00I will never tire of seeing your pictures of Amste...I will never tire of seeing your pictures of Amsterdam or anywhere else you choose to go.
