A Visit to Willemstad - April 25, 2012

 Here we are in the small town of Willemstad. It is on the river and is a beautiful and quaint village.

 This windmill had been converted into a private home.

 You can see our ship in the background. The sun is shining and it isn't too cold today.

 A nice view of the harbor. The city is still completely surrounded by an old city wall.

 This is a picture of the first Protestant church in the Netherlands. It is 400 years old.

 We had an organ recital here. The music was gorgeous. The inside of the church was impressive.

 This is a cafe at the waterfront. We did not have time to eat here.

 You can see bells at the top of the building. They were used to warn the town folks about any enemy approaching by sea or if there was a fire. The bells played on the hour and we got to hear them.

This is some of the merry band who went walking today.
