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.

| 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 |
