Tuesday

Tuesday morning we got up, ready, and by nine thirty we were on the tram on our way to Delft. This is a college town that has cute small shops and apartments. We toured two very old churches where Royalty is buried—literally-- under the floors of the church. The dates on record there started in the 1200’s. William of Orange conquered England, Scotland and Ireland in years past. The present Queen still is of the Orange family. Both churches had many rows of stained glass windows.
Delft also has canals running through the town. We walked through the square and the churches and then took a taxi to IKEA!! They are building onto the present IKEA and will train people here to work in Ikea’s. It is a large store already but will double in size. We ate Swedish meatballs and potatoes with gravy and cranberry sauce. YUMMY!! We caught the train back to Den Haag then the tram back to Rebecca’s house. We arrived at the house about 3:30 and I was exhausted. In Canada this would have been a ride to the Mall, shop, and drive home….much more boring but easier on the body!! These people have to be in shape just to do every day life. That is all for today.
