The Market Square. #igTravelThursday

It is time for another #igTravelThursday.

The Market Square is the center of life in a Dutch town. We are always in awe of what is going on in our Delft Market. Seemingly overnight it is transformed from a Bocci Court, complete with sand, to a sea of restaurants to a small carnival and back again.

Here is a roundup of my Instagram photos of the Delft market!

 

Beautiful #delft on #openmonumenten weekend. We’re enjoying exploring our hometown.

  A typical Dutch day involves grey sky, old buildings and discovering a carnival in the square. #delft   A photo posted by @ejdn on Sep 19, 2015 at 1:01pm PDT

The market square has been taken over by a #carnaval. The juxtaposition of the rides and the old buildings are something I’m just not used too. The market center truly remains the center of life in the city. #delft #marketsquare A photo posted by @ejdn on Sep 19, 2015 at 12:58pm PDT

  H picked out this ride to try with dad. He was all smiles as he “drove” his jeep through the jungle.   A photo posted by @ejdn on Sep 19, 2015 at 1:16pm PDT  

  O chose to ride this little carousel. He was very serious about the whole ordeal.   A photo posted by @ejdn on Sep 19, 2015 at 1:21pm PDT

Market day in Delft. Everyone is in the main square playing a game that looks a lot like bocce. #delft #alwaysraining #delftsquare #marketday #igtravelthursday A photo posted by @ejdn on Sep 5, 2015 at 3:08am PDT

Let’s not forget a few pictures of the actual market… which is a block over from the square, but still part of the whole experience.

Love the flowers on market day in #delft! #marketday #delftsquare #alwaysraining #expatlife #igtravelthursday #flowers

It’s Market Day! Yummy! #delft #delftsquare #expatlife #marketday A photo posted by @ejdn on Sep 5, 2015 at 3:14am PDT

I had to find the #Utrecht #Flowermarket. Even at the end of the day it was full of beautiful bouquets. When my Dutch gets better maybe I can get some great deals. #flowers #openmonumenten #expatlife #exploreholland #flashesofdelight, #thehappynow #livethelittlethings #mytinyatlas

Today’s pick at the flower market are these amazing hydrangea …and of course some more roses! #delft #flowerstagram #marketday A photo posted by @ejdn on Sep 19, 2015 at 12:50pm PDT

The strawberries here are so delicious! I just love them and try to buy them every week at the market. They are so much smaller then what you find in the U.S. But so much more flavorful!
