No Shopping Tonight


The Langstraat is a pedestrian street and Wassenaar's main shopping thoroughfare. The street begins at one end with this statue, and ends at the Dorpskerk.
Here you can find everything from small department stores to cheese, wine to electronics, clothes to cameras.
Although there are a few restaurants and pubs along the street, it is generally pretty quiet at night. Fridays are the exception, when some stores are open at night.
On this night a cold rain was falling, typical for this time of year.

Wassenaar Dixieland


As we approach summer, Wassenaar's main shopping street, the Langstraat, gets busier and busier. Last weekend there was a garden fair; these guys were part of the entertainment and they were pumping out some mean Dixieland jazz.
