Yesterday morning, the dipe squad and Profesora Brancaforte visited Keukenhof, a spectacular public garden that is only open two months per year when the bulbs are a-bloomin'. One danger of having an amazing camera with LOTS of memory is taking too many photos. I shot over 200, deleted down to 88, and narrowed it further from there to post here. I still had a hard time weeding things out, so don't get lost as you tiptoe through the tulips!
Given its limited availability, Keukenhof was quite crowded, even early in the day. As we left before lunch, cars were lined up for several kilometers all the way back to the main highway. License plates were from all over Europe (The Netherlands, Germany, and the UK being the most prevalent). We heard that Easter weekend saw over 25,000 visitors at Keukenhof! As happy as we are to have avoided that madness, we were sorry that Markus's mom and sister missed it. We just hadn't thought of it...a side effect of being a first-timer! Looking forward to next year! If you have a to-do-before-I-die list, we suggest adding "see the tulips blooming in Holland" to it. You won't be sorry!

My specific line item addition to my list would be "see the fuzzy tulips blossom in Holland" ...
Fuzzy tulips. Who knew?
