Hi Peeps, last week my Canadian friend from Toronto was visiting me in Holland. Overall it was a fantastic and wonderful rendezvous after not seeing each other for almost two years.
The last time that we saw each other was actually in Chicago during a Thanksgiving celebration at a mutual friend.
Besides the usual sight seeing and parties in Amsterdam we also explored other parts of Holland like The Hague, Scheveningen, Zandvoort and Zaanseschans. The latter is a delightful old hamlet on the banks of the river Zaan with characteristic green wooden houses, charming gardens, small hump-backed bridges, cheese farm, clog factory, historic windmills and engaging little shops.
Overall, the Zaanse Schans gives an excellent impression of how a typical Zaanse village must have looked like in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. As I almost live my entire life already in Holland it was my first visit to the Zaanseschans and it was definitely worthwhile a visit. To give you a impression of my last week you can check out my Flickr page.
