North Sea Fishing Village

There is an old fishing village street near the sea in the north of Amsterdam, the capital of the Netherlands. It is called the "small fishing village on the North Sea" by many tourists. In the early days, it was the seaport of Edam. Later, it slowly developed into an independent community. Now there is a bustling shop, Restaurant Street, on the other side of the street, you will see trawlers and transportation boats, which are still where local people live. In addition, you can also see traditional wooden houses, and you can also taste fresh food here. Caught seafood, here is the Netherlands [Volendam]. Generally speaking, the impression given by fishing villages is that of "fishermen" and "busy", but here it feels very different. Arriving at the center of the small fishing village, sailboats pulled down their sails and docked on the shore, like a group of children sleeping soundly after being tired from playing. The mast stands lonely in the sky. There are so many masts, and when I think of their majestic appearance when sailing, my eyes stayed in admiration for a long time. There are some bicycles parked neatly on the embankment. The Dutch have cars and boats, but they use bicycles more to travel. How environmentally friendly! There is a sculpture of an old fisherman sitting on an iron chair by the roadside. It was this fisherman who invented the method of "removing the intestines of herring with one knife". What a quiet haven! I remained silent in the light, letting my heartbeat approach the frequency of a small fishing village. I thought: If I sit here facing the lake for a long time, my irritable heart will be soothed by the wind.
