Dag Twee

This is marking the level that the river rose fifteen feet above usual water level!!

Things we learned today -
1) Pedestrians do NOT have the right of way in Holland.
2) It's hard to be inconspicuous taking pictures of a old church while a funeral is happening.
3) Jet lag doesn't wear off quickly.
4) Yarn is reallllllly expensive here.
5) Cool towns to us are boring to everyone else.
6) It is not considered inappropriate for seniors home windows to be facing a cemetery. This is not a joke. (picture #5. On the right - senior's home, on the left - cemetery.)
7) Said cemetery and seniors home are bridged by a church.
8) Bells ring all the time. Very pretty a lot of the time. A lot, a lot of the time.
9) Dutch people, EVERY single dutch person, has good style.
10) The real Dutchman way to make rice is to - cook for 12 minutes on boil, wrap in towel, and place in bed. Perfection.

Today we got to spend the morning in Best, walking around and taking pictures of everything! Had a lovely lunch with family, followed by a tour of Culemborg. A lovely old town with parts that have been standing since 1455. We then went to Lianne's Oma, and Opa's for supper and pictures! Now we go to bed, and sleep forever.

Peace.
