Hoorn, Netherlands


We arrive in Hoorn in late afternoon, eat dinner on the boat, and then take our bikes out for a 15 km. trial run.
The sky clears a bit, and becomes a spectacle, and we stop just to bear witness as if this were some religious event.
Possibly it is.
The bikes and the kids perform wonderfully.


It is the 650 year anniversary of the town of Hoorn, and we take a walk into town to listen to some music when we get back. The town is dense and historic and quaint, a real tourist draw. A five piece band sings and plays in the town center, and the cafes are open, and a crowd is drinking beer on the street. We all fall asleep before midnight.
