Today started out a little crazy learning the Metro with Amsterdam, wow they shove so many people on the tram and we had no idea what we were doing, we finally got a seat, and made it safely to the train station.
After a nice train ride we arrived in Delft, what a really neat little dutch town, by far my favorite day so far. We didn't know what we wanted to do so just wandering around we found an amazing church Oude Kerk (Old Church) after we toured it and saw the most amazing stain glass windows ever that told the complete story of the bible, we found the Nieuwe Kerk (New Church) it was just as cool inside with bibles dating to the 1700 hand written!!!
But the best part was to our surprise you could climb to the top of the clock and bell tower!!! Wow it was so cool, I will admit a little scary, my knuckles were white climbing up the spiral wooden staircase! But oh so worth it, check out our pics going up and from the top. The town was so great, and we ate a little cafe in the town square.
P.S. Today is my 11 year anniversary at work, so nice to spend it relaxing :) Oh and Happy Anniversary to you too Burce, 32 years in business! Wahoo
Tomorrow we are off to Paris!!! Can't wait
Wow! Everything sounds amazing! What is that book under the bubble? What was it like to see all those hand written bibles?! Crystal, you hair looks super cute in your pics today, lol! Can't wait to see Paris!! Drink an espresso in a French Cafe for me!!
