"The enchanting region where faeries live in alphabetically placed houses resembling all the letters of the alphabet, from A to Z. There’s also the quaint hamlet of Numbertown and Punctuation Stations. The houses might be informed by the letter, an A-frame in the Alps, a Beachside Bungalow, or a Casa on the Corner or embellished with the letter (s-shaped shingles or pathways of pea-gravel). Homesteads also feature things that begin with the letter. For example, the Shoddy Shack might have snaked-shaped smoke streaming from the single smoke stack. Literally a litany of alliteration! Lettersburg Junction will feature over three-dozen faerie-scaled places on the Museum’s campus that celebrate the alphabet in a wee faerie fun and imaginative way. 26 Letters, 5 Punctuations, and 1 to infinity Numbers.

For a long time, Amsterdam was one of the only places you could go to light up legally. When visiting a coffeeshop, be sure to order a beverage, leave a tip, keep your volume to a minimum and ask permission if you would like to take a photo. Coffeeshops are often quiet and laid back and range in aesthetics from ultra modern, or over the top themes to psychedelic chill out zones and dark hole in the wall type places. They all have a menu and many offer smoking alternatives in the form of baked goods like brownies, cookies or space cake. Some also offer space shakes or herbal infused teas, if you prefer to drink it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b7474c1710699c532bee50d/1539121285961-63NQ1T237DISP5GSPEQ3/1934328_20964395066_9824_n.jpg Exquisite Journeys Blog - Amsterdam Enchantments: The Weird, Whimsical, and Wonderful - EASY DAY TRIPS For extended visits to Amsterdam, there is tons to do outside the city borders. Day trips to Rotterdam, The Hague, Delft, Edam, Haarlem and Volendam are within easy reach and are serviced by a number of large or small group tour operators. Many places are also accessible by train. A few unique places to visit are Madurodam, an open air museum full of models of Holland's top attractions. Zaanse Schans, another kind of open air museum where visitors can learn about local Dutch crafts like wooden shoe making and cheese making, visit working windmills and explore a traditional village sat upon dikes and polders. Further afield, but worth mentioning is Efteling, a fantasy theme amusement park. It is twice as large as the original Disneyland and has been in operation since the 1950's, evolving to be a major attraction over the decades. It has a popular hotel with themed rooms, a bunch of original dark rides. Best of all, it boasts a truly incredible fairy tale forest. It is roughly an hour from Amsterdam by car, or two using public transportation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b7474c1710699c532bee50d/1539121041209-KEKBUA8X334MOR4S8BNW/6637_10151301761660067_1014354284_n.jpg Exquisite Journeys Blog - Amsterdam Enchantments: The Weird, Whimsical, and Wonderful It is quite a spectacle to watch the boats pull in, and see Sinterklaas on his giant white horse, followed by his massive entourage embark on their huge welcome parade. Candy is everywhere. It is handed out by participants, tossed by the sackload from floats and even blown out of giant cannons. The parade winds through the city streets, heralding in the holiday season. His sidekicks, Zwarte Pieten, keep a record of all the things naughty children have done and they could end up being put in a sack to be sent back to Spain to learn how to behave. Or to serve Sinterklaas. It is not entirely clear. So beware if you think you may be on a naughty list. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b7474c1710699c532bee50d/1539143347374-C6PV4N0KZA7WH2ISI5IA/43592922_448696318987588_5046888693684502528_n.jpg Exquisite Journeys Blog - Amsterdam Enchantments: The Weird, Whimsical, and Wonderful https://www.exquisitejourneys.net/exquisite-journeys-blog/2018/10/8/hidden-nyc-ice-cream-crazy-on-the-lower-east-side monthly 0.5 2018-10-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b7474c1710699c532bee50d/1539038138639-SPLAKRNCBABNQCLJ1EWT/43462689_10156381276170067_6365931226833879040_n.jpg Exquisite Journeys Blog - Hidden NYC: Ice Cream Crazy on the Lower East Side https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b7474c1710699c532bee50d/1539038341243-6F6SNM5V3O6JGDB055KB/IMG_20181001_174358.jpg Exquisite Journeys Blog - Hidden NYC: Ice Cream Crazy on the Lower East Side https://www.exquisitejourneys.net/exquisite-journeys-blog/2018/9/3/rye-playland-small-town-art-deco-wonderland-1 monthly 0.5 2018-09-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b7474c1710699c532bee50d/1535948438448-SSCV4283CL7TLULVX5XD/IMG_20180816_161626-ANIMATION.gif Exquisite Journeys Blog - Rye Playland: Small Town Art Deco Wonderland https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b7474c1710699c532bee50d/1535954557378-REI86NFNH4MMMBWEEHUH/IMG_20180903_015221.jpg Exquisite Journeys Blog - Rye Playland: Small Town Art Deco Wonderland https://www.exquisitejourneys.net/exquisite-journeys-blog/2018/8/20/dqcw549kxnn98u15p38fwxavp2afba monthly 0.5 2018-08-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b7474c1710699c532bee50d/1534738944975-6BHSHPKRPV832BHN4JIV/544683_10151544801875067_498894255_n.jpg Exquisite Journeys Blog - The England I Love One of my favorite finds in Glastonbury is the White Spring Water Temple found at the start of the road that leads to the Tor.
