Haarlem

On Monday, we took a train to a small town nearby Amsterdam called Haarlem. (Harlem New York got its name from Haarlem, Holland when New York was known as New Amsterdam...just a little trivia for you).:) Jeremy loves trains and he was very happy that he got to ride one. It was about a twenty minute train ride from Amsterdam to the cozy little town of Haarlem. Most shops are closed on Mondays in Haarlem, but there is a huge clothing market that is open on the main square. ( yeah...again!!) Also, there is a very pretty church to see there also. We got to Haarlem at about 11:30 a.m. and had lunch at a really nice restaurant just outside of the main square. Then, it was time to check out the clothing market. It was so fun and there were so many things people were selling from dresses to underwear..you could definitely find it there.:)
