To the Netherlands

The Netherlands is a beautiful, artistic place to go. Their traditional buildings have overlaid woodwork that is much more detailed than the German style of decor. The rolling hills are beautiful in spring, with bright yellow mustard fields and new, early grasses growing in the hayfields. Their food is abundant in traditional fresh meats and the flakiest pastries, dumplings, and bread you will find anywhere on earth. They also offer many exotic flavors, from the days they were explorers and conquerers.

While we were there, we visited the Mondo Verde Gardens, which is a well put together garden of all different places in the world. It is easily an all day visit, and worth the time. We especially loved the tropical house with cool birds and exotic flowers. We also found Dreilandenpunt, which is 3 land's point that joins the countries Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands. They had a labyrinth and a tower you could go up to see the different countries. Although we didn't do that, we got lost in the labyrinth for over 2 hours. They had cool trick fountains that blocked some of the ways. Anyway, so now we've all officially been 3 places at once. Cool, uh?
