AMSTERDAM
HOLLAND
THE NETHERLANDS
I was born 10 foot
below sealevel!
That's why I am interested in the sea, of course.
Even my name is
related to water;
in English, it would be
"EAST-DAM".
The year before I was born,
the (other) Dutch completed
the enclosure of the "Zuiderzee"
which you can see on the
map and photograph
at the left.
This was the "AFSLUITDIJK",
at the top of the green
or Enclosure Dike
By the way,
what is the difference
between a :
DAM
and a
DIKE
?
and just in case you did not notice that the questionmark is also a link to the next page
