Today we went canoeing on the Ruiten Canal; it runs through the town of Sellingen. We went with Ilona and Wim (her husband) and their children, Liza, Gerben, and Merel. About five hours of canoeing over several sluices gates (small dams that help keep the canals at the right water level). This canal is used, now, just for recreation and nature conservation.
And we all had raw herring for a snack!!
