I will be visiting the Netherlands soon, hopefully Haarlem will be on our list of places to visit(God willing).

I just happened onto your blog and couldn't believe what I was seeing.

She had quite an impact on my life! Thanks for sharing your tour through some really great photos! I like your idea to be a casual tourist. The last picture of the countryside was so green and pretty. I'm sure the new fangled windmills are very efficient...but not nearly as charming as the old ones? ;)Lisa Richardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00567160304529796810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6918710928117815584.post-79847730240303408842013-07-23T09:45:21.321-07:002013-07-23T09:45:21.321-07:00Oh I can't even begin to tell you how much I l...Oh I can't even begin to tell you how much I loved seeing those photos. I have read Corrie's books so many times and now I will know what it looked like when I read it again. I think I would say that at the foundation of my faith is the Ten Boom family. As a new believer it was the first book I read. Corrie came to our town when I was a teenager and I went to hear her speak. I saw that crown stitchery when she said that poem that goes with it. I was thrilled to see it again. <br />You have really shared so much on this trip and I loved every minute. Have a safe journey home.

I read the book many times as a young person. I heard Corrie speak once in my home town at a city auditorium. She was wonderful! That was many years ago; she was old and I was young. B/c I adore houses and how they're laid out, I studied all she said about the secrets of her home, and visualized how it looked. And I think my book copy had old photos of the parlor -- but you showed me NEW photos! And pictures of the bedroom and the hiding place! I'm thrilled and happy that you had a special tour, all alone, and that they let you take pictures. So many museums won't allow that. Safe travels, friend! Just think -- while you are looking at Corrie's home, your sweet daddy is chatting with her and her family :)M.K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09205619221345704689noreply@blogger.com
