The Boulevard
Traveling to the boulevard seemed like a big deal. Going through town to get there wasn’t much different from towns in Harrisonburg or Winchester in Virginia, except that I couldn't read the road signs and there were more bikes than cars. Having not seen much of the world, I have very little to compare the boulevard to. I'd say that the Virginia beach strip is similar to it, but a lot less busy. There was no humidity or salt water in the air, because we were by the sea... even though it looked just like an ocean. The view was beautiful, but the wind took away from the experience. I imagine that the boulevard would be the place to be on a hot summer day in the Netherlands. For my visit, I learned a little Dutch history and got some beautiful pictures of the North Sea.
