Holland or the Netherlands?

Probably more explanation of the relation than you can absorb in one swell foop:



I visited The Netherlands and Holland, I suppose, once back in the 90's for a meeting.  I visited the Rijksmuseum, the Van Gogh Museum, both in Amsterdam and the Mauritshuis in Delft. All well worth it.

Doetzen Kroes is from The Netherlands. She would look good in pearl earrings.

Wombat-socho has the the long awaited, post tax day, triple stuffed  edition of "Rule 5 Sunday: Ricochet" up at The Other McCain.
