Me too, Emm. I remember the fist time I saw it and realized how similar it is to some of our buildings in northeastern US.

Oh, I love the classic dutch architecture!

Yes, the buildings are so interesting! Familiar but different :-)

Sarah, I want to go back on a Thrusday and browse the markets. There was an antique store off the main square that had some lovely tiles, but really I was just in Delft for lunch and friendship. Serious Delftware shopping next time maybe :-)

Not any of the “real stuff”. Just a few souvenir type pieces.

Heh, they are indeed, bookbabie. I hope you do get to do your cruise. I hear that is a lovely way to sightsee!

I hope you have a chance to visit Delft one day, Minday. It is so charming :-)

Anne, isn’t that funny/awful? I know those stores can’t stay the same over the centuries, but I admit I do cringe when I see an American fast food place in a building like that! I guess I would prefer it to be in a building like that rather than have a modern eyesore in the middle of that historic square.

Isn’t it funny to look back on who we were like in our teens? I think we were who we needed to be at the time. McDonald’s and all ;-)
