Hello everyone, I'm so happy to be back here to myLot today after a break that I could hardly be here because I was not connected. Yesterday I returned home after a pleasant trip in the Netherlands I had done with my family for 11 days. So my joy is double: also meet and hear from you again, and get the money from myLot today. We toured many types of transport: in the car, on bicycles, in boats, on ship, and on trains. We saw very interesting places that we are not used to seeing in our country and unique to the Netherlands. We met very nice people who were very kind and most of them were warm welcome. We had a lot of experiences but in this post I thought of mentioning one that was very strange to me: One day after a long hike in nature by bicycle that ended at 18:00 we wanted to buy food for the next day for breakfast we went to the nearest supermarket and saw it was closed, we tried to ask if there was another place open but we were told that today Monday Monday and in this village everything is closed from five o'clock .. In fact, we noticed that all the shops were closed and there were hardly any people in the streets and everyone was locked up in their home with their family or alone. For me, as one who lived in the city, it was very strange, but nevertheless it was a warm feeling that sitting one day after work with the family at home could be a wonderful thing... What do you think? The picture took by me in Netherlands.

Welcome home and back to myLot! I've visited Amsterdam and loved it there. I'm not surprised that the town shut down on Monday. Here, most bakeries, some fine restaurants, and hair salons are closed on Mondays.

Oh yes, Dominique, it was so good and so fun to break the routine and go hiking in the Netherlands, both because of the cooler weather and because of the beautiful new scenery we saw there...

Usually yes, but when we got there it was in renovations so it was impossible to get in there, but we did it later in another place.

@hereandthere You can see the system how it produces energy from the wind to produce useful things such as flour production, mixing or washing, or making paper and more...
