Rommelmarkt!

What fun today - a yard sale! Well of, course it's called a "rommelmarkt" here, and in this case it was an annual whole-village sale by the folks in Schoonhoven. We could barely find a place to park, and getting to the tables to look at things could be a challenge, but the people were very pleasant and it is just fun to be part of it all. I found a great set of hand-knit socks and Linda found a set of 4 tumblers (great since the apartment doesn't have any glasses that big).

The local church was the center of the entire thing - they took advantage of the opportunity to challenge visitors to "Get on the Level" with God. Besides this sign, they were handing out tiny level keychains.

Of course we hadn't had enough of markets at this point, so we headed to Delft in the afternoon.

Delft is one of our favorite towns. Yesterday, it seemed that it was the favorite of a lot of people! We went to visit Knotten (the local knitting shop, which was celebrating it's 4th anniversary), and the Brocante market. It turns out that the regular market was also there in the main square, and the flower market was going on as well. The town was packed full of people!
