Searching for Jimmy Hoffa? You won't find him at the Dutch Village!

Can you believe they are digging up another farm looking for the remains of Jimmy Hoffa?  Yeeeesh!

(if you got here with the facebook link, there are previous posts you should read!)

Anyway, we did take in the Nelis' Dutch Village which "recreated" a Dutch Village from many moons ago.


First of all, can anyone pronounce any of these streets?  Me either.  Can you imagine trying to give directions using street names?  Good luck!

This village had some similar attractions as the gardens we saw earlier.  A carousel, a street organ, flowers, windmills, Dutch dancers (actually had a guy, but only one)!

Street organ

Beautiful flowers

We had a Dutch Crosti, which was a panini  (toasted sandwich).  And I woke up a llama or alpaca.  Poor thing was lying flat on the ground when I walked up and asked him
"Are you dead?"

Who me?

Poldermolen

The above poldermolen is a polder mill which are used to drain land.  They could use these in New Orleans.

I watched little ducks while Cary watched some old guy fishing for wooden shoes.

Old goats

I am not a witch.........

I got weighed just to prove that I wasn't a witch.  They did a lot of strange things back in midevil times.

.....and I have a certificate to prove it!

 I guess witches weighed less than they were supposed to in relation to their height because their bones were hollow so they could fly.

I think I wore the poor girl out adding weights :-/











And last but not least, I commandeered this horse and buggy to get us back to the parking lot where we jumped in the truck to head back to our home suite home..

And so ends our tours for the day.
