Utrecht Google Map (Tourist board information) is 25 miles from Amsterdam,and,
with a population of 250,000 is the fourth largest city in Holland. We found it charming, with an old city section complete
with canals, one of the handsomest art deco post offices you will ever see, a fine open-air market and an old and historic
church, called the Dom, with a huge bell tower. All of this can be seen in our Photos and in a letter excerpt.
