Yes, they have more than just guitars.
This one is next door at a glass shop, but was too interesting to not include.

We never saw any bison, so we’ll have to try again another weekend. You can read about them at https://www.dutchnews.nl/features/2018/02/the-bison-are-back-rewilding-the-dutch-dunes-brings-back-a-mega-beast/

Swimming in the North Sea

August 14, 2020 1 comment

Today in Zandvoort, a friend and I went for a swim in the North Sea. This was after a relaxing lunch of sangria, pizza and salad.

We skipped the opportunity to enjoy the mobile fishstand pictured being driven around by a tractor.

For reference, I remember the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Oregon and Washington as being colder than what I experienced today in the North Sea. I’ll have to check it out at different times of the year though.
