People sometimes ask us what it's
like to live here in Delft. That's not an easy question to answer
but the best answer I can give is very short. Delft is perfect. I
find that I can describe it accurately but not adequately. People
come to visit and tell us it's just what we said but they didn't
"get it." It feels like a movie set sometimes. My son
Bruce calls it "Disneyland without the Disney" which is the best
description I've yet heard. Here in central Delft
there is very little automobile traffic so although houses are small
and close together, it doesn't have a feeling of being crammed in
because there is almost no space required for cars. The lack of a
car is not a handicap, either, because everything is so close.
Within a block of our home there are several groceries, a dry
cleaner, a pharmacy, a couple book stores, several hair salons, lots
of restaurants, a movie theater, a flower store, a shoe shop, and
most important of all, a chocolate shop. I hope these pictures give
you an idea. See my videos of
Delft. |
