Pretty Little Towns in the Netherlands
With a car and driver (thanks Rob), we had the great fortune of visiting off-the-main track places. It was cool to see the different lifestyles in these little towns. A lovely day was had by all! Ilsa recommends back road places.
Joc, Rob, Carrie, and Jon on a pretty little bridge, over a pretty little canal, in a pretty little town named Weesp (pronounced vaspe... I think)

There are still many heritage windmills in the Netherlands. This one has banners protesting a proposed highway in the area (a highway would totally ruin the adventure of driving on their pretty little narrow roads). I saw a guy working on a windmill wearing wooden shoes.
Can you see the pretty little lambs in this scenic landscape shot?
We stopped for lunch on a pretty little patio, overlooking a pretty little canal with pretty little boats (some big boats too) passing through a pretty little bridge, while listening to an orchestra.
Appropriately, they played "I'm so pretty"!
Weesp has some unusual decoys in their canals.
Say Kaas!! (in case you can't guess, kaas means cheese)
A castle in Muiderslot, just outside of Amsterdam.
On a warm day in Amsterdam, outside is necessary. Many had pulled their kitchen tables to the sidewalk outside their front door and had neighbors over for a picnic. Some chose to BBQ on a boat.
