Sinds last Saturday until next Sunday, you can participate in the activities of your city, province or elsewhere in the country!
Did you already participate in the History Week? Or will you do it in the following days?

(Spakenburg, October 2010)
Last Sunday, I went to Spakenburg, located in Utrecht province, one of the few places in the Netherlands where some women still wear local traditional clothes (Kraplap).
Spakenburg is a very good example of the strong connection between "Netherlands and the Sea" or "Nederland en de Zee", this year's theme of The History Week ( "Week van de Geschiedenis").

Spakenburg is a very religious village (Calvinists/ Dutch Reformed Church), so the stores, restaurants and bars were closed last Sunday.

I wished this restaurant was opened, so I could eat a hot meal. It was so cold!
Remember also that 18.30 pm is time to dinner in the Netherlands...
