Delft

Last Sunday was a beautiful day -- sunny and no hint of rain. And it was in the 60s! I went to Delft, where all the blue pottery comes from, just to wander around. It only took about 20 minutes on the tram. Delft has a gorgeous old section with several churches and museums and lotf of canals. I just wandered around with some co-workers. I want to go back since the churches were only open for services. They're open for tourists the rest of the week, but not on Sundays!
Like all Dutch cities -- or at least all that I've been to -- there are lots of canals.





















Kayak'ers are among those who use the canals.






















This is the new church -- built between the 1300s and 1500s -- on Delft's main square.





















The church steeple of the old church, which was started in the 1200s.
