Holland

This part of the Netherlands is just as flat as our part of Manitoba.
Bicycles galore, as one would expect, and even more providing transportation outside.
A curly hazelnut tree (if I understood correctly).
Some very cute houses that seem to have a remarkable amount of individual space with a very small footprint. At least if D and D's house was anything to go by.
Narrow, tree lined roads.
And best of all...

D and D, a pair of incredibly spunky octogenarians with energy levels that would put most 20 year olds to shame. They ride their bicycles and and hike regularly. She swims everyday in the summer and she just recently gave up bowling, a sport that he still enjoys. They kindly gave us a wonderful tour of local towns and historical spots that took up most of Thursday, then stayed up at least three hours longer than The Geek and I managed.

We had great fun during our visit.
