Since the weekend, we have been quite busy so I have fallen behind on the posts. After a very full day touring Amsterdam with one of Brenda’s second cousins, Joost, we drove up to the north of the country late Saturday afternoon.
We arrived in Lageland, near Groningen, in time for a nice backyard BBQ as the heat of the day eased.  It was very good to catch up with the Nijeboer’s who used to live in Calgary about 7 years ago.

We stayed 2 nights and on Sunday toured the country-side around Groningen. To me, this part of the trip seemed to look and feel like what I pictured Holland to be in my mind – verdant fields dotted with dairy cows, tree lined lanes leading to tiny villages with cobblestone streets, and windmills overlooking canals.
