Sunday's In My City...

  
          I finally went to Giethoorn,Holland. It's been nicknamed "The Venice of The Netherlands". You can rent boats and tour the town through the canals.

     
     It seriously felt like I was in another world..like in a Thomas Kinkade painting.

           
      See what I mean? the homes are beautiful. It was a perfect day.

        
     
        
    You can pull your boat to the side and walk in an out of stores.

      
       If you have a very large chunk of change you could buy this lovely home :)

      

          

         

   Next week I will show the more pictures of Giethoorn and the lake we spent a few hours on..I hope you come back! Please head over to Unknown Mami and check out what she and everyone else is up to today. Even though I am now living in The Netherlands, I have not forgotten about 9/11 and those who were killed that tragic day. I can still remember where I was when it happened and the complete sense of loss,fear and hope I felt during that time. I will never forget.

It sure looks very pretty Sonia, prettier than Venice considering the fact that there's so much of lush greenery all around!! Venice is different and amazing at the same time...:D

Nice to see so many beautiful images on a day like today.

This is a beautiful set! The city really is so pretty. Comparing it to a Kinkade painting was the first thing I thought of too.

Your pictures are so amazing sometimes I feel like I'm looking through a window.

I don't like boats. Well, mostly I don't like getting them or out of them and riding in them. The boats themselves are usually very nice :)

However! I would totally go on a boat to see the views you saw. WOW!
