Haarlem Scenes

We have been to Haarlem half a dozen times since we got here--well, the Ikea on the outskirts--but finally made it Wednesday to the old city. Our day there consisted of walking the old city and the big square, the Teyler Museum, the Grote Kerk, and the usual street snacks.
The Grote Kerk in the big city square















Old City Hall















Market, now museum















Butchers/tanners guild/market



















Everywhere, something old, something beautiful















Local hero, invented movable type, did not
print the Bible




















The local hero, for us, is Franz Hals, but we'll save his museum
for another day
















Entrance to the Teyler Museum (next post)



















Old and new canal houses















Shoppes built right into the Grote Kerk















Snack stop















On the way back to the central station



















Street/shoppe scene



















Particularly nice one
