Our final stop on our Netherlands tour was Leiden, an old university town about a 15 minute train ride from The Hague. We visited and walked up to the top of the Burcht, the old citadel built in 1150. From there we had a beautiful view of the city. We then walked to the Antiquities Museum of Leiden where we saw Egyptian mummies, and ancient artifacts from Greek and Roman times. Many of the American pilgrims lived in Leiden for a while after they left England, and before they came on the Mayflower to America. We took a group photo at the church where many of those pilgrims worshipped in Leiden. Tomorrow we return to America on our own version of the Mayflower. See you all in Traverse City!
