You might look at this picture and assume I'm at home somewhere in Holland. Volendam? Zaanse Schans? Logical, but wrong. This picture was taken today in Pella, Iowa, during the annual Tulip Time festival held there. This majority-Dutch town was founded in the mid-1800's by a Dutch pastor and businessman named Scholte who came to the U.S. in search of religious, intellectual and economic freedoms.
Click on the picture to see the 100 photos I took in Pella today on Flickr! Even though it was only 45 minutes away from my parents' house, it was a REAL TRIP!

ehm,
nice that they try to make original dutch clothing, but most of it is horrible!!! this is a mixture of several styles, but it really looks like hell! ( I am not making any friends here ;-) )
Hopefully next year they will have enhanced the clothing properly so it will look as it should be.
