The two of us traveled by bus to one of the world's largest flower gardens, during nearly prime season for flowering bulbs—daffodils, tulips, crocus, fragrant hyacinths and more. The gardens are huge, and laid out with winding pathways and attractive lakes and streams. At this time, the cherry trees and forsythia bushes were adding to the spectacle.

The street organ in the video and photos was built in 1978 from old organ parts. It is named after an old windmill from Haarlem (“The Adriaen”). The organ plays on the perforated book system that was Invented in 1897. They played typical calliope music, Glen Miller tunes, and hits from Beyoncé and Coldplay (!).もっと詳しく
