Willemstad


The sisters had a referral from SLC in Willemstad.  I looked it up on google maps. The satelite view showed the city was built in the shape of a star with a moat around it.  They did this for protection long ago, so it is a very old city.

We are not sure what this building is. We plan to come back when it is warm to explore this little city.

There is a molen near the center of town.

There is also a harbor. The city is located on one of the lagest rivers flowing out of the Netherlands.


There are also lots of sail boats. I would guess in good weather this is a busy place. You can see the grassy berm which surrounds the city for protection and is located inside the moat. The star shape of the moat and berm makes it easier to defend the city.
