We went to Delft to celebrate this beautiful day with the great Dutch Golden Age (17th century) light "photographer", Vermeer, the painter of light, who was born and lived in Delft all his life.
Before arriving to Vermeer Centre, we stopped by the main city's square and took these shots of the Nieuwe Kerk, where since William, the Silent, the princes of Orange are buried.
Opposite to this church is the Stadhuis or City Hall, a Renaissance style building, the former seat of the city's government, and still the place where residents hold their civic wedding ceremonies.

From the main square (Markt), we can reach the church where Vermeer is buried, the Oude Kerk...

and the Roman-Catholic Gothic church of the city, Maria van Jessekerk.

We asked for typical Dutch hapjes (in Portuguese "petiscos"): bitterballen and kaas (cheese).
