Alkmaar

Long update for you all today! I haven't been close to a computer for a few days but I've backdated a few posts so you can see what we've been upto! Enjoy!!!

I headed out with my mom and dad for a day in Alkmaar on Saturday. It was their big market day so we got to see the cheese runners and the cheese market.

There was also a guy in the market making traditional wooden clogs.

This is just a cool lion statue that I spotted.

I still can't get over the thousands of bikes that you see everywhere!

The best part of the day was the crazy boat tour that me and mom took thru Alkmaar!

There were quite a few very low canals that we had to duck under on the boat... very crazy!

There were also some really nice sites to see...

Mom looked like she was enjoying herself in between ducking episodes :)

We even passed by my Dad's windmill that we had toured earlier in the day.

Here is a little video of our advernture...



The carnival also started on Saturday and there were rides and snack stands set up all over town. It was just like the stampede but spreaded out wherever we went. It was awesome!!!

This is a beautiful angel statue I spotted on the tour...

It was a really nice city and a great day :)
