Madurodam
Sarah proposed a trip to Madurodam, near the Hague, and it was an excellent suggestion. The photos explain the concept; it's basically a big park containing replicas of towns, airports, and farms. Many of these have movable components; highways with moving cars and trucks, for example. There are even mini-boats moving around in the ponds, one of which repeatedly catches on fire only to be rescued by a well-aimed plume of water fired from a tiny fire boat. Madurodam successfully captures the full spirit of Holland. Interestingly, there is a statue of the little Dutch boy putting his finger in the dike (no jokes, please) by the entrance to Madurodam. |

Amsterdam 3 November 2003 The Anne Frank house (the one with nine windows). In the summertime the line for getting into this place is legendarily long, but in November I was able to stroll right in. |
