No, I'm not in New York. Rather, this post is made from close to the original Haarlem just outside Amsterdam where I have just finished attending a conference. On Sunday afternoon, a few hours after arriving here, Dot and I were met by some old friends and whisked away to their home district of Haarlem. Frans Thissen works at the University of Amsterdam and commutes the short distance daily.
We went first to the North Sea coast to see the surfing, the beach and the dune system, which were all very interesting. Then we walked around the historic town, once much more important than Amsterdam, before heading for a pub and a restaurant meal. The pictures show some of the scenes we saw.
