Holland: the countryside

Think of Holland and you think of windmills, fields of flowers, irrigation ditches, butter and cheese from black and white cows and wooden shoes. On our recent trip, we were not dissapointed. We went in April during the height of tulip season.

It is a common pastime to walk the fields with the family dog or the family.







Everywhere we go we see large displays like this giant ice cream bar display.



Here's a house with thatched siding.















Goodbye Holland (officially known as the Netherlands)
