Part 27: USO Holland Den Haag

April 1991
“Went to see the annual Holland flower parade. There were many floats and cars covered with flowers. Lilacs, tulips, hyacinth, and many other flowers too. It smelled wonderful. ”

On this day, we drove by vast seas of tulips and flowers as we made our way to flower parade. I had seen the Rose parade on television but had never seen anything like it in person. Climbed the tall flower adorned light poles for a better view - fabulous! Climbed down just in time to hitch a ride on the back of this float and even signed a couple of wooden shoes. If you look closely, you can just make out the corner of New Mexico Man's yellow cape.

~Most people are afraid of getting lost in a sea of tulips. Admit it, I am Fearless.~
