Yesterday we went to one of the dykes at the coastline. It seems that if there weren't dykes then half of the Netherlands would be flooded. In 1953 they had a huge storm when a lot of the Ntherlands WERE flooded. So they built up the dams to hold of the ocan so it would not happen again. The progect took a long time. They only finished about 5 years ago and after that they had to start reparing them because parts had broken again! We went with one of the other Canadians I told you about before. We went right under and it was very cool. After that we went to a small city. We had some supper there at a fast food place. It was surprisingly very good. That's about all we did yesterday.
