Veere, Middelburg
Finally, I’ve finished editing the next chapter of my travelogue. Yes! It only took a few hours, but now that I’m home again and relatively unemployed (against my will—don’t get me started), I’ve gotten lazier. My goal is to have the whole project done by the time school starts in a month, because I certainly won’t have hours of free time then, and I don’t want this to drag out for months until the tiny audience I have has completely lost interest.
This one comprises clips from an outing to the small vissershaven (”fishermen’s harbor”) of Veere (pop. ~1500) and the larger town of Middelburg (pop. ~50k). Veere is quaint and adorable, and therefore rather popular with tourists, especially German tourists, apparently. The menus at the cafe we lunched at were printed in Dutch and German.
Hier is-ie! Filmed July 6.
I have at least two, maybe three more videos to make from the footage of this same day…with another 12 days’ worth of vacation after that. This is gonna take a while.
Note: If you are one of the small number of Americans who insist on pronouncing the first syllable in “Roosevelt” to rhyme with “shoe,” cut it out. You peeve me.

It really is blackberries? See, I thought I remembered it being blackberries from when I was little, which is why I said it in the video. When I was editing, though, it somehow got into my head that cassis *meant* cherry, so I added that note. I figured if it were really blackberries it would be called zwartebessensap or something like that.
Good to know I was right all along. =)
