Onwards ho!!! To Broekelan

That's right, we're in Broekelen, origin of Brooklyn in NY city.  It honestly doesn't look much like it's offspring.  On the trip down we were serenaded with a heartfelt solo of O Canada at one of the bridges!!!! I joined in to make it a duet. The man is half Canadian and we'd gone past his houseboat.  He was so excited to see us that he jumped into his car and drove down to meet us as we came through the next bridge.  He's headed for 3 weeks in Ontario in a few days.  Gonna watch the Jays on the 27th in fact!!!

There is something about travelling through the Netherlands as a Canadian.  There is a real connection there for many Dutch people.
