Dear Gazelle,
was there ever a sweeter bicycle than you
that could inspire us on a perfect and sunny day
to take a ride to Westerpark
and then simply make a left on Haarlemmer weg?
And that would inspire us to stay riding for over an hour
along the way gazing over here
then
arriving
here
where
we
crossed the bridge
into
Haarlem
Centrum
and as we walked through
the
Oude Kerk
we said
a little prayer
that our legs might survive
the long road
leading us back
to Amsterdam…
We love an adventure.
We like to discover things.
We wanted to discover Naarden
and het Arsenaal.
We thought the trip to Naarden would be fun. We were told getting there would be easy. We like that 1 metro and 2 bus rides later – one of which had to be hailed from the side of a high way – we were undeterred, still committed to the goal. It was about 20 minutes into our walk when
things
started to
look up a bit.
We were finally approaching
the walled city
of Naarden
a star-shaped vesting
with
a lovely
city hall
and we continued on until we reached the collection of shops
that make up
Het Arsenaal
Moooi at Jan des Bouvries
where we could explore
its unique setting
and around every corner find a surprise,
especially the surprise of a courtyard
where we almost
forgot
we were still in Holland.
After amusing ourselves
on the
Oude Zijde
Oude Zijde
We decided
to take
a peek
Animal Eyes by Heidi & Hans-Jurgen Koch
Inside the
World Press
Photo Exhibit
Oude Kerk
We
rather
enjoyed
the
setting
And then we thought about
for
this
Chaiten Volcano Erupts by Carlos F. Gutierrez
so beautifully
captures
love….
