RE: Day 670: 5 Minute Freewrite: Wednesday - Prompt: red curtain
Nobody could fault you on your perseverance. You certainly went the extra mile and it made for a very interesting freewrite.

Thank you! Glad you didn't find it bodersome.
On another note... What's depicted on your avatar?
On the contrary, it was very interesting.
My avatar is a picture of me feeding the ducks and swans outside my house in Amsterdam some years ago when the canal froze over. I had big bags of duck pellets and was very popular with the local birds.
It's nice to meet people from all over the World. I was in Amsterdam nine years ago or so and was quite impressed with huge bicycle parking lots and unbelievably fat sheep! That, and I always loved the Dutch soccer team. When they lost of Germans in 1974 I was devastated. I've never in my life before or after that experienced a greater tragedy. )))
I agree the bike parks are pretty impressive, but sheep? I can safely say that in 15 years living there I saw the sum total of zero sheep, be they rotund or emaciated.
Not in Amsterdam itself. There is a tour to a fisher's village; somewhere an hour away from the city. Over there one can see an old fashion windmill, people dressed in the ethnic costumes, visit a cheese factory and eat freshly caught herring. While driving there one can see strips of land and sheeps gazing at these amazingly green pastures. And trust me, those sheep look like pigs. )))
