An Unusual Day

Sunday was a very unusual day for us, as far as our normal when visiting the Netherlands. We stayed “home”. It was a wonderful day.

Well, home is a relative term since we took a walk through the village of de Rijp. Here are some images from our walk.

The local Reformed Church meets in 3 different buildings in the area. One of them is the old church from 1655, so this building is still in use, but was also open for tourist visiting while we were on our walk.

An  internet search for English church services led us to Christ Church Heiloo, a nearby Anglican church which had a service at 5 p.m. so our day was a bit upside down from usual. We heard an inspiring message from Rev. Francis Blight, based on Ephesians 1:15-23 and were blessed by worshiping with this wonderful congregation.

After returning home, we took a ride down the tree-lined bike path to the Beemster cheese facility. Besides a purple Beemster cow, they have a water tube showing how far below NAP we are.
