We went to a bakery (of course!) and a grocery store first. The bakery said that these mini-pies were their specialty, baked from scratch right there. I got a cherry-almond one, and my husband got an apple-cinnamon. My kids tried cherry turnovers and sugared donuts.
We finished up our visit with some stroopwafels- these things are so, so, good! I wished we had bought more than just that one package.
On the way home, we drove to the border of the Netherlands, Germany, and Belgium. It was also the highest point in the Netherlands.

Stroopwaffels are the best!! I send them home to all my friends and family back home and they always beg for more..that and dutch cocoa..now that is some amazingly good chocolate to bake with. Let me know if you ever want more of those and I will happily send you some:)
There are so many beautiful things to see here. Next week we are going to the Venice of the netherlands. It's a small water village where you can take a boat and drive through it. Then it opens up into a larger lake where you can swim and relax.
I forgot about Dutch cocoa-darn it, I didn't even look for it! Maybe sometime I'll take you up on your offer for sending stroopwafels. ;)
That "little Venice" town sounds so nice! Have fun there!
Living vicariously again--how neat and clean and beautiful it is there. Those stroopwafels look delish, and I'm so proud you chose cherry for your mini-pie--that's exactly what I would pick!
