Holland’s got Mussels

Posted on August 16, 2010 by hlskillet

I just got back from a trip to the Netherlands and discovered that it is a fantastic place that has something for everyone. From Amsterdam’s “Sin City” style delights to Zeeland’s family oriented ocean vacations, you can find just about whatever you are looking for, including a friendly face and a helping hand.
