Spring has sprung in the Netherlands and the tulip fields are blooming! Despite my many trips to the Netherlands before moving here, I had never actually seen the tulips fields in bloom. So I recently took the opportunity to visit the Keukenhof to enjoy the tulips up close. It’s worth noting that the Keukenhof is only open two months of the year – this year the dates are March 22 to May 20.
Today’s the day – Mardi Gras, Fat Tuesday, the last day of the Carnival season!
We headed down to Maastricht on the weekend to check out their Carnival scene. I was really interested to see how it compares to the Mardi Gras celebrations back home. Very different, and yet lots of things in common.
A few recommendations from my new home – this page is obviously a work in progress, so check back for updates. And please comment below if you have any suggestions to share with me!
