Visit to Keukenhof / Netherlands

[JeanLux]

We spent last week in North-Holland with US-members of my wife's family and had a good look at quite some pretty places there. We went to Keukenhof near the town of Lisse: I knew the place for being famous for its spring blooms but had never been there before. It is a large park with old trees, some large glass houses and other restaurants, wind-mils and of course water: ponds,canals; And, a lot of international visitors too !

Not being a particular tulip-fan, I was struck nevertheles by all the colors and shapes of blooms and plants, we discovered there: A Great Place!!!! Jean
