A Saturday in Wassenaar

A couple of Saturday's ago, Bud and I decided to go for a bike ride in our little town.  As we were riding on the narrow, cobbled roads we came across this nursery.

Seriously I need to get some sun!
 This little nursery is very nice but you would almost miss it.
It is tucked away from the mainstream traffic.
 
 Some very Dutch yard ornaments.
 Our bikes.  We picked up some gourds and a pumpkin.
The church on the other side of the nursery.

They had these flower bags hanging on the iron fence at the church.
 A couple of homes by the nursery.
 Notice how narrow the street is.  Also the cobble stone.
It always makes me nervous to be riding my bike 
and sharing the road with a car.
We saw a sign in the town sqaure, written in Dutch, saying there was a church bazaar that day.  It took a little help to figure out where it was but we found it.  This is their "parking lot."
 Inside we saw this beautiful stained glass window.
 It was an interesting church architecturally.
A very modern feel to it.
 The pipe organ.
 I was a little disappointed in the sale because I thought it might be like a Christmas Bazaar, with crafts and the like.  It was basically a yard sale.  Everyone's junk.  But you know what they say, " one man's trash, another man's treasure."  We bought four antique books on Dutch art and a couple of crocheted lace doilies.  
 
 They were selling these outside.  
I don't know what they are called but they are delicious. 
They are called "Oliebollen."
 It was a yummy dough with sultanas (golden raisins) in them.
 They were warm and served with powdered sugar on them.
 Then we rode over to the American Baseball Field.
 We love baseball so we stayed and watched two games.
 We watched an American team play a Dutch team.
It was funny to hear the Dutch coach talk to his team in Dutch.
After all it is the American pastime!
