We have been making a point of visiting local attractions and participating in events in our city for years. We have toured around our city by boat and by double decker bus. Both tours offered something different but both were highly enjoyable. We have also visited local museums when special exhibits are on display. Not only did we learn about our country's history but we also learned a lot more about world. We regularly attend festivals that are taking place here. Some of festivals have us trying out new wines, some have us viewing millions of tulips and others have us up on our feet dancing to music of a live band. And do you know what? We are having an absolute blast.

With all this touring around, we have also grown to love our city even more. We have always been proud to call it our home and we love telling people all about it. But now that we have spent some serious time exploring it firsthand, we have seen what it has to offer. We have found new activities that we didn't even know existed here and we have become well informed of history of our city. As a result of this we even decided to create a website giving tourists and residents information about this great city that we call home.

So, we ask you again. What are you doing this weekend? Why not take some time to explore your surroundings? Have a great time and enjoy!
