I don't know why. Two ducks were in a canal covered with milkweed, diving in and out of it like they were in heaven. It was a good way to end the day!<br /><br />And yes, I totally understand about the wood sculptures.

We're mainly only wine and beer drinkers. But it was still an education to walk through "the background" spaces. :)<br /><br />It's a wonderful thing for the Dutch to open up their "monuments" for one weekend every year...totally GRATIS! Last year we actually saw the inside of our Masonic Temple here where we live...something that I didn't know was "allowed" for outsiders.Ginnie Harthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14014434422568561157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10327858.post-30365083669239009062015-09-26T08:00:04.629+02:002015-09-26T08:00:04.629+02:00As you already know, we both can pack a lot in in ...As you already know, we both can pack a lot in in a short period of time...but I have a feeling you can, too, Woman!

I am in love with these ateliers, the smell of wood and the chemicals used to bind their parts together to create magic. Reminded me a bit of "Michelangeli", a workshop for wooden toys in Orvieto, Italy (a walled town from the Middle Ages high on a granite plateau in central Italy.)susantroccoloauthor.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17232991943865499133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10327858.post-53661378353078070282015-09-24T18:40:01.922+02:002015-09-24T18:40:01.922+02:00It was even better than I expected, and you, too, ...It was even better than I expected, and you, too, I'm sure.
