READY FOR A VT-MEETING?

by irisbe - last update: Apr 30, 2003

What lives around in Haarlem
"Ofcourse!!! I am coming" I said and accompagnied by B_Caro we went to check out what lives in and around Haarlem, and... last but not least: to see good old friends again and meet new one!

This page is just in progress, I took over 400 pics in total over 2 days so I need to sort them out first and see what I can use on my VT page.
Bear with me and have some patience `-)
First Haarlem citizen I met

The gate keeper

Haarlem is somehow....
................ a bit of the unexpected `-)

We found this nice little guy waiting outside a fantasy shop!
Now if you ask me about my fantasies I can assure you he is not involved in it !
On a second thought...maybe he was OUTSIDE the shop, because he was not allowed to go inside! He would scare away the elflings and the royal frogs, still not kissed by a princes .....
Now I almost feel sorry for him.
For a moment I played with the thoughts that if you kiss him would he change in something else... but his stick looked so big and I didn't wanted to get hit, so rather to get a hit on my head I thought to put the idea out of my head.

The heat in Haarlem

As we say it in Dutch: "De meeting was BEESTIG goed!"

Hey PJ a bit more patience... LOL I need to knock someone from this pc who really wants to tell the story of the swimming party in the Bieschbos `-)
My last night out in Haarlem

 Dag Dannie Ik was verleden week in Amsterdam, waar ze geen Nederlands meer spreken, en in Haarlem bij mijn vriend Frans Hals. Ik las dat in de 17e eeuw de helft van de bevolking hier uit Vlaanderen stamde. Sympathieke stad (daarom).

 Beautiful Haarlem page Dannie! Seeing your photos of the flowershops makes me feel a bit homesick :-) I love your shopping tips... Dutch with a little Flemish accent... mmmm, from Flaamse frietjes tot Belgisch chocolade! Heerlijk! Het kan niet beter!! :-)
