Giethoorn - Netherlands

When most of a country is below sea level having a home on a canal is fairly common. The neighborhood of Giethoorn is one such area that takes its canal life to a new, very calm, level.

The roofs are thatched, there are no roads, and except for all of the tourists in boats, appeared to be quiet and peaceful.

Restaurants and ice cream were common as well as art galleries. This is one of the towns worth returning to in late September and spending a month of quiet wandering.

I made two new friends Anna and John from Saint Malo, France.

Anna was a woman unintentionally beautiful, styled and photogenic. I’d love to get to that level.
