Delft

We left Leiden this morning, taking the train to Delft.  Delft is most famous for its centuries old hand painted porcelain and it was the home of Vermeer.  Delft has a quaint old city center, with three large churches and city hall.  There are shops with Delft porcelain all about, as well as cheese shops and restaurants.  We enjoyed walking about the canals and reading art cubes scattered about the city, about Vermeer's work. We bought a wheel of gouda cheese to take home.
