Amsterdam, the Netherlands Part 3: Enkhuizen

Okay, so I suppose the title on this is slightly misleading since Enkhuizen’s actually a town in and of itself and not part of Amsterdam. Regardless, it was part of the same trip, thus it receives the same heading.

On Sunday we decided it might be nice to see something a bit outside the city and on a tip from Kara’s Dutch neighbors we decided on Enkhuizen, a harbor town about an hour’s train ride from Amsterdam. The weather was gorgeous and it was nice to see slightly smaller-scale village. The harbor was pretty cool and reminded me a bit of Mystic Seaport or something of that nature. Surprisingly enough, the town itself actually reminded me a bit of Old Town Pickerington and all the various other restored “historic” villages throughout my region of Ohio (and I’m guessing throughout the US). At any rate, it was a refreshing way to spend a Sunday afternoon.
