July 30th, 2007: camels & Den Burg

Of all the random things to run into this weekend... camels in Den Helder! I was walking between the train station and the ferry and passed a circus being taken down. It was definitely strange to see camels here!

Here are some more pictures of Den Burg - this is what town generally looks like during business hours when the shops are open. There are so many tourists here that on the weekend the grocery store often runs out of items like bread...
This spot in the middle of town is approximately a 30 second walk from the house I'll be moving to in September...

whoa, weird about the camels. The spot that will be 30 seconds from your house when you move looks really nice. We will have to go there when I come to visit!

love, me

Hey Rachy,

When you come visit you will see that it is basically impossible to avoid this spot in town - so you'll definitely see it!

Hey, nice pic of you and the camel... who took the picture? I love the camels .They are an interesting shape. nice brick, cobblestone sidewalks...Looks pretty busy there. Are the shop hours different there? do they close during the day for a time and reopen again ? xo
