Christie and I decided to take a drive through the countryside to see what we could see. We drove off in an
awesome car...no, not the 1968 Mercedes...but in the 1978 VW Golf...
We ended up in Gouda (a day too late for the cheese market, but we may try to catch that next Thursday). and made our way to the city center. As we started walking we looked at each other and said "it's so quiet". Not because there were no people, but because there were no cars! It was wonderful (so many bikes). We saw the elegant Gothic Stahuis from 1450 in the middle of the city (and two weddings going on). We made our way to St. John the Baptist's Church and toured through this church where Erasmus was ordained.
We decided we wanted some junk food, especially dutch french fries (and the frietsaus that comes with it) and saw "Best burger" right there in the city. Ironically it was the worst burger I had ever had, but the fries were great.
We drove more on the dijks through the countryside before heading to Rotter
dam that evening for shopping and Pizza. Here are a few sights along the way!
