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...

Nevertheless, it was a nice walk!

Os barcos são lindos!
Adoraria passar uns tempos nos países do Norte da Europa. Digo uns tempos porque sou uma incondicional amante dos países do Sul...Itália.
Obrigada por esta partilha!
Bjs :)

Na Provenca, em Franca ;-)
Na Toscania, tambem ficaria muito bem ;-)
Ou no nosso Douro...
Ja me pos a sonhar, Ana ;-))

Sandra,
What a wonderful place is Spankeburg (sure I wrote it not well..), I like the towns with channels and typical arquitecture of the Netherlands. I also like the boats very much.
It´s a very beautiful post!!!
Beijinhos!!!
Hallo, Patricia! :-)
Thank you ;-) I'm very glad you like it!
Bjs!!
Love your Spakenburg pictures, I do love the lady in the square, one thing the Dutch do very well, you see these statues a lot,and your link is lovely, I have got the history of these places in my books.
As for the food, yes I have to get used to the times when visiting and am peckish again at 9pm LOL.
Hallo, Bertie ;-)
Thanks for your comment ;-)
My dinner time schedule is changing. I want to eat early. I think it's because of the cold. Now, 18.30 is ok for me. It's funny...;-)
Oh, those beautiful boats! And LOL, we still eat at 6:30 when we can. It leaves more time to do stuff in the evening :-)
I agree, Japra! Dinner at 18.30 makes the evening longer... ;-)
