My daughter drove me from her home in Cologne, Germany to the Netherlands. We visited the Van Gogh museum, then traveled to Leiden, the town my Mayflower ancestors lived in prior to their trip to America.

We enjoyed the town. We walked all around it. There’s a hill where a castle used to be. We went to the top of it. I was really intrigued by the view as we looked down. I loved it! Here’s my portrayal of what I saw that day.
