This morning we worshiped at the old Kerk (church) which was built in the 1300s. The service was complete with a large brass orchestra accompanying congregational hymns. Before and after the service were times of fellowship with coffee and cake, and for us the frequently asked incredulous question was, "You don't drink coffee?"
This afternoon we attended a concert by the acapella quartette, "Fosfour". Our Dutch daughter, Ilona, is the soprano on the left.
They have sung together for several years and have a very good sound.
This evening, Ilona and her husband, Wim, invited her parents, her siblings and families and us to a barbeque at their home. Here we are on the delightful sunken patio covered by a grape arbor. We called it a patio and they said that they call it a sithole because it is a hole in which you sit. We had an enjoyable time getting to know everybody, and we ate barbequed fish, chicken, turkey, pork, mushroom, onions and salmon for hours.
