The United States of America and the Netherlands.

We have a much greater common history than I knew.

On the internet one meets people from all of the world. Sometimes I am interested in the history of a country of the people I meet. A few months ago I stumbled on an internet link about the small role of the Dutch in the time around your Declaration of Independence. I read it with interest. Tonight I was giving some tips to a lady on another website about her possible visit to Amsterdam. Because she was also interested in our history I brought that link back and for first time I noticed there was more than just that one page.

If you are American and interested or if you are Duch (and not interested

) then have a look. We have a much greater common history than I knew.
