Enkhuizen Harbor
Went to Enkhuizen today. Enkhuizen is a former fishing/port town. But first the harbor silted up. And in 1932, it ended up behind a dike. Now it is a summer sailing and boating place.
You can be a dumb haole anywhere. Some how or the other today, I found myself stuck on a train all alone. A train that was shunted off on a siding. 30 minutes later - when the crew came back on - they all had a huge laugh. I am glad that I was able to spread joy. What did I do, (1) ate an orange (2) planned an escape route - assuming that I could have opened the doors (3) told myself -not to worry - sooner or later this train will go SOMEWHERE. And it did.
My train pass is all used up - reduced to bus and foot transport for the rest of the trip.
You just have to admire a store that sells bass fiddles and dishwashers. Talk about "general store".
