Holland tour

We had a great time today on our Holland tour. Went to Delft, toured the one remaining Delft blue on blue pottery — what gorgeous stuff! And how expensive, as well! They used to do amazing building tiles as well — they had a porcelain tile picture of the famous Night Watch that was fabulous — but for some reason they think that stuff doesn’t sell today. I’d sure want some of it — maybe not the lifesize 13 feet by 13 feet Night Watch, but other tiles. Walked around Delft for an hour or so, then went to the Haag — just tour busing around there, but a beautiful place. We sail tonight and tomorrow I go to Middleburg, the once upon a time capital, a medieval town, and Laird goes to see the water works at the delta — a gear head’s paradise, I’m sure. Holland is still beautiful, but still doesn’t move me to think, “gee I want to live here” — my yardstick for whether I love a place.

Hope everyone is well and happy — Amsterdamly yours, l&j
