Lots of Holland ... with Love for Catherine


Here are lots of wonderful photos from Holland......I have lots more and will post more this weekend......I LOVED EUROPE....I loved staying with my friends..Catherine...Pepijn...and their beautiful children ..Sam and Lola....their hospitality was beyond belief.....and I treasure every moment I spent with them...it was a journey of a lifetime for me.....and...C Sweets...I hope you enjoy these photos.....and they bring back wonderful memories of our journey together.....I appreciate you...and I loved your beautiful country.....
Still to come....windmills.....castles.....boat tours....cathedrals......France...Belgium...flowers.....art.....
beautiful old cemeteries...and much more!










Beautiful door in Holland.....eating along one of the sidewalk cafes....more flowers....... (can't get enough flowers).....I'm taking a picture of a cat in the window for my cousin Maryellen....:-) and it would not be Europe without French Fries with mayo.......that's the only way I eat them!










Some friendly blokes in Amsterdam...ummmm...maybe it's because....of the Hemp museum....the head shop...and some cannibus pops ????? !!!!!! :-)









What is Holland without cheese?????? I ate plenty!!!!! Along the canals of Amsterdam...and a beautiful Dutch window.....



Still more of wonderful Holland........











The little trooper Lola feeding the ducks at lunch....Outside her favorite candy shop.....and sitting in a big wooden shoe....a Dutch menu and a Dutch sign........















Anyone for mailing a letter from Holland??????? (Even the mailbox is pretty)..... The doors and windows are ornate......Walking around Amsterdam with the pigeons....puppets in windows....and real people who spend hours getting in costume and standing in the square with a bucket at their feet for money...if you donate you can get your picture taken with them...they look exactly like beautiful statues!













A beautiful yard...lots of green and color in Holland....flowers everywhere!!!! Red shoes and scarfs in Amsterdam windows......Rembrandt's corner....and The Sex Museum (of course).......















Snacking in Holland......Pastries.....Fresh fruit...and veggies....a street juggler....and oh so beautiful!!!!!!!!













more wonderful images from Holland......the buildings are tall and skinny...(Holland is a small country)....one of the canal boats waiting for riders....(water is everywhere)......the house with the green door is where Rembrandt lived and created!!!!!! a Dutch print.....and a yummy lunch!!!!!! :-)
