Monday, April 25 was rainy and windy. After 5 weeks of doing a lot of walking every day my foot really hurts. We decided to keep it low key today and explored our more immediate area, so we only walked 5 miles. I needed the break. These are some of the pictures I took.

The Grote Markt is supposed to be the jewel of the city of Haarlem. Unfortunately it’s totally obscured by the carnival like atmosphere set up for the King’s Day celebration.
The house we are staying in is on a corner. This is the side street. The windows above the wisteria belong to our living room and kitchen. There’s another window in the living room that faces the street. The bedroom is one floor above, not visible in this picture.

Tomorrow we go to Amsterdam for the day. It will be interesting to see how it is the day before King’s Day.
