Chapter 2 > My Family Visits
Shortly after my internship in the Netherlands ended my family came to visit for about a week. We stayed in a very charming hotel in Delft, one of the most beautiful cities in the country.
A view from outside our hotel, this bridge leads to the central square.

Behind our hotel, from my bedroom window.

One of many small bridges in Delft. This one is on the way to the train station.

The view from the above bridge. It doesn't snow much in the Netherlands, this snow was gone about a day later.

Another wonderful canal view.

The tip of the new church in Delft.

The old church from the side.

The new church from behind on a sunny winter morning.

The view from the top of the new church looking down on Delft.

Every new year's day thousands of Dutch people run into the North Sea on Scheveningen beach, here they are getting ready.

It was cold, I couldn't believe how many people there were.

By the time most people get to the water some people are already back.

Delft is a nice place.
I visited Delft last week.
I really liked how they made Ceramic Pots and paint them by hand !!
