We are now in the lovely, smaller city of Delft, famous for its blue-and-white pottery. Our hotel (Emauspoort) is in the center of the old city. (This is our preference in order to be right where things are with little or no walk.) From our 2nd-story windows we look over chock-full window flower boxes to see the most-painted bridge and canal in the city, along the side of the New Church (dating from the 1300's!), and into the main square beyond (pictured).Tomorrow we will take a walking-and-canal tour of the city, and then visit Delfshaven, now part of Rotterdam, from where the Pilgrims set sail aboard the Speedwell to meet up with the Mayflower in Southampton, England.
Response to Mac: Jeremy Bangs was very informative for sure. We have run into his work everywhere online and in print. He is quite the authority on all things Pilgrim!
Onward.
