One of my favorite places was Delft.<br /><br />In Delft was a little restraunt where all of the walls were covered with burlap bags. I asked the owner what was up with that and she told me that the bags were what were used to drop food supplies to them. I guess the story you just related!<br /><br />The bags were each marked with what the product was and where it came from. Potatoes from Boise, Idaho; flour from Portland, Oregon; etc, etc.<br /><br />She had a great love for all Americans, never forgetting why she survived the war and the tough period afterwards.<br /><br />If you make it to Holland - give my love to Hardewijk - best town ever....KJPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09671764204117510669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31278166.post-1161040657063491912006-10-16T16:17:00.000-07:002006-10-16T16:17:00.000-07:00Lizza and Benny- thanks for visiting!Lizza and Benny- thanks for visiting!INAMINIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01164847091151455540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31278166.post-1160409792846369032006-10-09T09:03:00.000-07:002006-10-09T09:03:00.000-07:00*waving hands frantically*I find it fascinating!
