I thought i would wrap up with more Amsterdam pictures. On one of our day tours, we went to Haarlem which happens to be the original Harlem and its what ours in NYC is named after. Haarlem is also where Corrie Ten Boom hid Jews from the Nazis. We didn't get to tour that but it was cool to see the building where it happened. There were some buildings that dated back to the 13th and the 14th century. That blows my mind!! That's the kind of stuff we enjoyed seeing and experiencing while in a different country.
We also toured a castle called Kastle De Haar. The original castle was around 1391 and it eventually burned down. It was rebuilt in 1892. It had a beautiful church on the property that we didn't get to tour but a wedding had just taken place there a few days prior. How cool would that be?!! I have always wanted to visit a castle in Europe so i can scratch that off my bucket list.
So here are a lot of pictures.
Please be safe this Memorial Weekend.
