I had a student from Madrid who worked for me in New Jersey (he was a blonde Spaniard) and he found a girl to date who was also blond but she spoke Spanish. She was a descendant of Dutch settlers in Argentina.
I wonder if that Dutch settlement can successfully grow their tulips there? I grew up in a small Dutch community in Iowa. It was an unspoken rule that you MUST plant tulips in your garden :-)
I spent a year living on a houseboat in Amsterdam Noord on a canal and when the tulip season came, there were boat after boat of cut tulips. Beautiful.
There is a Dutch community in Argentina that has been there for generations.
Interesting!

I believe they are Afrikaners, to be precise.
Could be. I never asked.
