The Trip that was: October 23, 2009/2017

 2009

The market in Assen. It's very typical of markets all over the Netherlands. 



Look at all that licorice.




Mergpijpjes. Food of the gods.

 
After a quick tour of the market, we headed to Groningen. If you can pronounce it, you're either Dutch or better at languages than I am.







After leaving Groningen, we drove to visit some hunebedden.  Hunebedden, "giant's bed" are communal graves dating back to the Funnel Beaker people, 3450 BC.  There are 52 hunebedden in the province of Drenthe, and 2 more in Groningen province. 


2017

Different views of Alkmaar. No cannon balls, no canal photos-- it's the other side of Alkmaar. The liveable side. 







Tot Ziens!
