Today we braved the wind, cold and rain to take the train to Haarlem. It was a 10 minute ride. Then it was just a bit of a walk, several blocks, to get to Carriers house. We had to wait about 20 minutes to go on the one hour tour. It was quite interesting and since I had seen photos of her home, it felt like I had been there before. Just like Amsterdam, everyone bikes to their destination. Rain or shine, day or night, bikers are everywhere. Did I already mentioned that motorcycles and scooters also use the bike lanes? Then add in the buses, trams and cars and you have a real mess.

| The linen closet where people had to crawl in through the lower shelf and replace linens and then close the "door" |

| Living Room where we were given an overview of Corrie's life and family |
Not much is original, but the sconces and the 2 clocks belonged to the Tenboom family
