La ciudad holandesa de Gouda, a 20 kilómetros de Róterdam, es famosa por sus quesos, sus gofres rellenos de caramelo (stroopwafel) y por su precioso casco histórico, donde el 14 de diciembre se celebra la fiesta de las velas (Gouda bij Kaarslicht), una cita anual en la que la plaza del Mercado, el Ayuntamiento y otros edificios del centro — como la Goudse Waag, la Casa de los Pesos, una construcción del siglo XVII donde se tasaban y subastaban los quesos hoy convertida en museo, o la iglesia de Sint-Jan (San Juan Bautista), la más larga de Holanda, con 123 metros— se iluminan con miles de cirios y velas mientras los coros navideños animan las calles. Los niños de la foto, tomada el pasado 5 de diciembre, patinan en una pista de hielo temporal instalada en el interior de Gouwe Kerk, una iglesia neogótica construida entre 1902 y 1904 en el centro de Gouda. Tras su estancia en el templo, la atracción se trasladó el 19 de diciembre a la plaza frente al Ayuntamiento.

Gouda is great fun for the family and worldschooling. Why? Because, what kid does not love cheese? Ours all do, and (to be honest) so do I, therefore Gouda, pronounced How dah, was anticipated with an air of excitement. This gorgeous town has a great history all tied up with Cheese. Therefore making it the ideal spot to do some worldschooling. Learning and eating go quite nicely together!
