Description
My boat compagny that starts it's third season was named after King Willem I of Orange, King of the Netherlands after Napoleon went.
King Willem I gave The Hage a Canal towards the Sea. It goes right through the old dunes. This morning i was standing on one of the old dune top overlooking the canal. On the other side is a park. In the 1920's there were plans to have the 1924 Olympics there (!).. These Olympics were given to Amsterdam (1928).
So there was no Olympic Park, but a green park with many flowers and statues. Still a great place to be..
Next friday I am back there.. with the boats
Time flies.. and I don't mind.

very inviting and picturesque
Stay tuned for next week when Boatboy returns to the scene of the crime... da da da da da - boat - boy!!!! Olympic didn't make it there - bummer... in 1976 the Olympics wanted to come to Colorado and our politicians said NO.... I was only 12, or 13, so I don't remember why our great state said no. since they devided the winter and olympic games, I can see the Winter coming here. ...later boatboy - lol
Very beautiful and scenic photo. Nice infobyte about your boating company. :)
Cool pic, chris! Can see why you love being out there so much.
I suspect your city was better off for not having the Olympics. A lot of the winners of such honor later regret having purchased the privilege. Beautiful park.
