The ones here are gorgeous, but I bet they're better in their mother country. :)Emily R.

Everyone spoke fluent English so it was a surprise for me to read that outside the big cities it's less well known. I never got to Rotterdam but recently I posted some postcards of the city from the early 1900s on my blog.Most of the city was destroyed during the war.Bob Scotneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00662958579705940009noreply@blogger.com
