Continuing on where I left off yesterday, the friendship between Canada and the Netherlands, forged in the crucible of war, is as strong as ever.
It includes a history of immigration and tourism between both countries.
It includes the birth of a Dutch princess on Canadian soil during the War; Princess Margriet continues to make visits to the country to this day.
This large scale photo is ideal for photo ops.
There's a Dutch store in Nepean that I go to on a regular basis; they were one of the vendors in the park this year. I popped in, and bought these. I haven't had these cookies in years.
And I bought a biography of Malak Karsh, the landscape photographer who is deemed the father of the festival. It includes many of his photos.
Nice purchases, William.
