Vacationing the Dutch way

The Dutch are known for going on holiday towing a caravan (purportedly already stocked with potatoes) all over Europe.

This is what Aldus's babysitter and her boyfriend towed around the Netherlands for their holiday. The tractor is his own.

And apparently they're not the only ones! We biked to Diever yesterday evening for ice cream and stopped to chat with our former next-door neighbors Rudy & Agaath. They, too, have a "gypsy caravan" in their driveway and are restoring it to take on holiday with a tractor next year!

This is so amazing, but you actually have to be in Diever or Dwingeloo to understand and appreciate it. When you sit in their small towns and watch tractors and horses go up and down the main street, this picture seems very normal and acceptable. In a way, this makes a lot more sense than the big gas guzzling motor homes going up and down the U.S. interstates. Good for the Dutch!
