Aalsmeer is "the world marketplace for flowers and plants. Every day Bloemenveiling Aalsmeer sets the world price for flowers and plants." In addition to numerous plants, gorgeous flowers, and lovely houses, are the Westeinder lakes where me and some friends were fortunate enough to go sailing on a fellow student's family boat. The day, as it does so often here in NL, began on a very dreary note. By the time we set sail, however, the clouds were breaking and the sun shining through. Here are some photos of the all-day adventure. I had a fantastic time, and even sailed much of the way back to port myself!
Herman is the one standing and the same who was so gracious to host us for the sail. Brian, another American, is wearing the yellow hat and I am to his right, if you couldn't figure that for yourself.
