Europe: Chilly Dutch History
March 30, 2013
Today we visited an outdoor museum full of Dutch history, especially focused on every day living for the working and farmers. The buildings had been moved (each brick and beam) to this location and there were reenactors to help tell the stories. It was a fun day for our and our host family! The museum also caters well to kids, so they had lots of fun too. It was quite cold, again hovering around the freezing mark, and snowed on and off, but we all survived.
Because we’re about to head out to a Saturday night Easter service, I have included some pictoral highlights from today…and a few from yesterday…enjoy!
