Dutch culture on the skids

On a recent field trip into the urban expanse of Amsterdam, we came upon this, less than a mile west from our place......


If you haven't guessed, yes, it is a trailer park, of sorts. Leslie dubbed it Carney Village due to the RV type vehicles......


Not far from Carney Village is an authentic windmill from the 17th century, probably...


and just down the canal from the windmill is, you guessed it again! Chickens! 

It is a fact that many young people in Amsterdam are clueless about chickens. Yet there the chickens are, on a canal....across some more canals....and a tram line....and a bus line....from the center of the urban experience of Amsterdam, minus the chickens.
