Saturday 26 May RNW - NEWS AND ANALYSIS FROM THE NETHERLANDS IN 10 LANGUAGES, WORLDWIDE 24/7 ON RADIO, TV AND ONLINE
Ned 27 September 2009 - 12:39am
This was a watershed event for me personally, having grown in the NY area and later on in life having become a true a lover of the Netherlands culture. I very much enjoyed the audio tour that was provided via the park service, and was both amazed at how small the New Amsterdam colony really was and that I could still sometimes imagine the scene described despite the dramatic difference from today's viewpoint. I approached "the city" (as we call it here), from Staten Island. It was so cool to see all of the Dutch nomenclature that has survived there. Peter Stuyvesant is alive and well on Staten Island! Let's have a 401 celebration, it's the next best thing to being in beautiful Holland.
