European Culture

What I noticed during this trip is how much more personal history seems to mean to European towns. Everywhere you go in a town you can see the way their history has shaped them. For example, delft blue is a staple piece sold in almost every store in delft and a few towns outside of delft. In Franeker, everyone seemed to want to tell us to go see the observatory. US towns definatly have a history, yet most do not seem to be as connected to it than in Europe.
