Some local flavor

Typical views in the local park

These sisters were just beautiful
This is the church just at the end of our street - the bells ring regularly and are beautiful (maybe not so much on Sunday at 9am :) Actually, we don't really hear them anymore - they are just part of the fabric of Wassenaar.
Typical Dutch shutters/cottage

Well, I now have a proper Dutch bicyle, with big ol' basket and bell, of course - picked it up this morning. I'll take a picture of it, too.

I took a quick ride and did a couple of errands before lunch as Alex came home before his trip to Luxembourg. We had chicken curry soup and gouda cheese toasties - yum!
Because it was such a beautiful day (again) I hopped back on the bike to ride around Wassenaar and I remembered my camera!

I found, quite accidentally, the local outdoor market (we'd presumed that Wassenaar didn't have one - but it does - every Tuesday). Vendors sell everything from underwear to fruit. I bought a pair of cheap sunglasses and some fresh fruit and vegetables, a skirt, a pair of funky european jeans, and some candy! Pics of the market forthcoming - the camera is charging at the moment...
I drove around and took some additional pictures that show what the typical bike path looks like, some Dutch homes, canals, wildlife, etc.

Enjoy!
