So, quick bus ride with the Canadian team (cramped quarters) to our next city of Gouda. Spelled like the cheese but pronounced "how-da" with a throaty angry German 'H'.
We took some time after check in to explore the town. True to its name there was all sorts of cheese for sale and rumor has it we missed the weekly cheese weighing this morning.
The town is built on a network of canals that are lined with old beautiful homes and shops. In the center of town there are some incredible buildings, churches, cheese weighing houses and more.
Beautiful little city. I'd love to spend more time exploring which I'm sure we'll get to do. I definitely want to take in more of the local cheeses.
Thumbs up for cities named after cheese. First game tomorrow.
Photo 1: Lolo, Maggie, Tumua, Kami and Betsey making the beautiful sights of the city even more attractive.

Photo 3: cheese museum in an old weighing house
Photo 4: local canals. Loved the little porch off this house
Photo 5: Also in the city center, not quite sure what it is. I hope it's a cheese making factory. I'd love a tour of one of those.
