Today we went with visiting Canadian friend D to another World Heritage Site, Kinderdijk<\/a>. Again, while nice enough, it was hardly on the scale of an Angkor Wat or some of the other sites I’ve seen<\/a>. <\/p>\n

But it was pretty enough, and quintessentially Dutch, with windmills and dykes and polders (the areas of land inside canals), as you see here.<\/p>\n

Liam thought it was great fun to walk between our laps and then sit with one or the other of us. Here he is with Ivo. <\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/a><\/div>\n

And with me.<\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/a><\/div>\n

And some last scenic shots.<\/p>\n

And after that, a scenic drive back through the polders to Utrecht, and a dinner that included poffertjes<\/a> to round off the Dutch experience for D.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
