Edith is saying Hallo from the Netherlands with this new card to the Happy Postcrossing from... collection. 
The Netherlands has an area of 41.548 km² and a population of 16.979.120. 
Amsterdam canal houses are one of the most recognizable architectural features of the country. 
Even more famous than the canal houses, are these Dutch painters, Rembrandt, Vermeer and Van Gogh. 
Genever and poffertjes are some famous products but my favorite, missing on the card, are stroopwafels. Love them!!
