If you click on the tab labeled “Specials” near the top of the frame, it will take you to a collection of videos that I particularly liked. There is one called “Manners in the Netherlands” featuring Reinildis van Ditzhuyzen, the author of “Dutch [...]
Scheveningen: A blustery walk on the beach
We didn’t bike out there, but somebody did. But had we ridden our bikes, there would have been plenty of parking… The dunes are so pretty here. These long grasses looked like hair.

And pretty much a Wordless Thursday too…
