Thursday afternoon he had to attend a meeting that had been scheduled at his real office in Deventer. I decided that since he was only going for the afternoon it would be nice to go along for the ride to Deventer and spend a few hours walking around the center of town. The shopping is similar to here in Arnhem but the town itself has a lot more character. Since Deventer wasn't completely destroyed during World War II like Arnhem was (and has actually been completely rebuilt), it is a nice town to stroll around.
I had planned to walk more around the outside of the shopping area and try and take some pictures, but of course as soon as I arrived it rained and stayed raining for over an hour. I did get a few which included a tour of some kind with horses, a church and the alleyways I just love, before ducking into the inside of a store to wait for the rain to stop.
I also found some hidden treasures during our day out and about in Deventer. Although it was nothing like Michaels or A.C. Moore, I was ecstatic to find a store called "Hobbies" that has a good scrapbooking section. I was able to find paper for a project I have been wanting to complete for Ella for quite some time now.
Of course Ella couldn't leave empty handed. I have not found a second hand clothing store anywhere in Arnhem, and was shocked to find this one down a small side street. Walking around aimlessly paid off. They had some very nice clothing at a reasonable price. Ella will look cute in her two new dresses.
Our night ended with a perfect dinner out at a restaurant we've only been to twice, but we love!!!! They have the best ribs (that we can find here).
