March 12, 2011- Today we went on our second excursion. We first went to a city called Almere, which is a pretty cool town. All the apartment buildings were located above the stores.
Hema, a large retail store in the Netherlands, had a huge building where each side of the building was a different color. We also went to the top of the V & D store.
There was grass on top of the building and a couple other apartment buildings had grass on the rooftops. The city is one of the fastest growing cities in the Netherlands with a population around 200,000. The night life seems like it would be a lot of fun.
Next we went to a small town that had a shipwreck museum.
This museum started out really boring but turned out to be a lot of fun because it had a lot of hands on stuff. I felt like I was in a children’s museum. Next we went to a small town called Urk. This is primarily a fishing town since the city used to be an island.
This town was very homey and had a cozy feeling to it. The people were really nice and the town looked really cool.
We walked on the docks and looked at all the boats.
I wanted to stay longer but we had to leave. On the way back, we ran into a castle called Muiderslot which was located in Muiden.
Unfortunately, the castle was closed.
