We woke up today to gorgeous sunny weather and decided to head off to the Keukenhof, the famous Dutch tulip garden. We thought it was the perfect day to go see the flowers. Unfortunately, so did everyone else in Holland. And France. And Belgium. If you, like us, didn't know, May 1st is a big holiday in Europe.
So, our 30 minute car ride turned into an almost 2 hour car ride, but we still made it and were still excited to see the gardens. We made our way in and found the first restroom (an unexpected 2 hour drive can do that to you). No sooner had we entered the building when it started to rain. It always rains, so we figured it would be no big deal, we could wait it out. And then it started hailing. Yeah. So we hung out with a few of our closest two hundred friends:
But, eventually, the rain would stop for a time and the sun even came out once or twice and we were able to explore the beautiful Keukenhof:
It was incredible. Of course, though it had rained most of the time we were there, when we got back to the car, the sun returned and the afternoon was as spectacular as our morning had been. So it goes... Erika took many more amazing photos that we'll try to post into our Flickr account this weekend.
