Your article brought back so many memories for me. We spent about a week in Holland back in 1967 as part of a 6 week European stay. It included a couple days at Keukenhof and being there for the tulip festivals in surrounding communities. It was one of the highlights of our trip. I loved seeing your photos and reading about your visit. They have made changes, of course, but the beauty of the flowers is still the same!
Thank you so much for sharing the Keukenhof Gardens. My parents are from Holland and I have been there 3 times but always missed the tulips. My sister and myself want to take a trip to Holland during tulip season and we are really hoping it will be soon. I am going to email your article on the Gardens to get her dreaming and skeeming on how we are going to get the money together to go.
Thank you again.
I was happy to find out that while I may have missed the big outdoor tulips displays by going when we did, there were still thousands of tulips in that pavilion!
I hope you and your sister get to go SOON... it's just beyond description. :-)
When we were in Holland, we went also went to the festival and parade at Hillegam, between Amsterdam and Keukenhof, if I remember correctly. All the floats were made with tulips and daffodils and other spring flowers. Our stay in Holland was one of the highlights of all trip. I hope we can go back again at the same time--such a beautiful country in the springtime! When winter in Iowa seems to long, I like to look back at all these photos and remember that special Springtime. Oliver, I hope you'll be able to go soon and see your parents homeland.
