Sinterklaas came to
Amsterdam today it was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G
(If you don’t know the
Sinterklaas story you can click here and learn about it.)
It was the first time I
actually got to see his arrival.
So many anxious young
faces dressed as the iconic Zwart Piet and so many red flags waving!
I loved seeing the
little ones giving their drawing and letters to Zwart Piet so Sinterklaas could
see them later on.
Sinterklaas shook my soul
mates hand while I was snapping away pictures I am so jealous. Hehe.
I tried to capture as
many pictures as I could on this festive day but for the people who know Zwart
Piet you know they never stay put so it was really hard.
Also due to my
shortness my soul mate had to hold me up or we had to find a curb for me to
stand on. Hehe.
But it is truly a
magical experience. I walked around and
got to see him three times which I still think for ME wasn't enough ;)
Holland has something
very special going on during this holiday… It’s probably one of the least materialistic
Christmases I know. YOU GO HOLLAND!
