We discovered, today, a hofje just around the corner.  These are very small apartments, in this case only available to singles.  The grounds are open to the public during limited hours, but with a sign saying that you are requested to be silent when you go inside - so as not to disturb the residents.  These date from

At one time these hofjes were built exclusively for women or the poor or lay-workers of the church.  They are always so special,

I'm SO glad that your farewell party went well & that everyone enjoyed the quasi-American food. You are definitely the hostesses with the mostesses!
