My Day off, a visit to Delft, and my first proposition from a prostitute!

Well today was my day off so I decided to get out of Rotterdam for the afternoon and see something new (at least for me). So I asked Ineke for a recommendation and she and Robbert sent me on my way (by bike) to Delft, a very old and historical city. It was somewhere between 15-18 Kilometers to Delft which is about 10 miles or so. Driving into the city I was kind of going, ok, what's special about this city? Then I followed the signs and people to the Markt (market) which is the old cented of Delft. Coming into this part of the city was so beautiful! Old canals mixed with old buildings and cafe's brought the city a charm that can only be described as enchanting. In the markt were shops, cafe's, a huge church, and the old city hall. I ate lunch there at an outdoor cafe (Dutch Crokettes and fries with a 7Up) and then explored the shops and town a bit.
Ok now onto the exciting part of the day! My first proposition by a prostitute! On the way out of Delft I really had to use the bathroom! So I spotted a McDonalds and thought back to all those old family trips where we would stop at McDonalds just to use the bathroom! Just before I could get into the restaurant a man approached me and said, "Hey" so I replied "yes?" Realizing that I was not speaking Dutch he said "what do you speak, do you speak Dutch?" I said, "no English" Then he said, "oh!" and turned to these two girls and said, "English!" Then he pointed to the girls and was like, "Ehh, Ehh?" One girl immediately replied, "oh, English!" The other girl was like, "Ahh! Irish!" I immediately realized what was going on, I was being propositioned by a pimp and his prostitutes! I could not believe it! In broad day light outside of McDonalds in Delft! Now I woudl not be as suprised to be propositioned in the larger cities like Amsterdam, or even in certain areas of Rotterdam but Delft! Outside of Micky Dee's! "Would you like a prostitute with that? Err... I mean ...would you like fries with that?" Well I thought the whole experience was quite humorous, especially the girl who was like, "oh! Irish!". I mean, I was wearing a green running jacket and I do have those rosy red cheeks, but seriously where did that thought come from?
Well all in all it was a fun and relaxing day off.
