Heaven in Rijnsberg



This is our apartment (top right) in Heaven. It is right next to a elementary school and accross the street from a church will bells that play music every 15 mintues during the day.

We go running every morning along the canals. These are nice duplex homes with backyards that face the canal.

This is a single home on the other side of the canal. Ducks are everywhere.

There are five bakeries within a minutes walk from our apartment. Everyday we buy fresh bread for the day. The bread is on a shelf unprotected. This keeps the crust crips yet the inside is light and moist. When you buy they run the bread through a slicer and put it in a bag. Zuster Everton did not eat bread for a year before we arrived in Holland. She fell off the wagon big time once she tried this bread. We jog past this bakery every morning and wave to baker. One morning we left early for inspections and needed 9 loaves of bread. The baker was kind enough to open the door for us at 7. Normal opening is 8:30 am. They close at 3:30 pm. It seems like the baker works all hours.
This is a ferry point from Rijnsburg to Valkenburg. We were never jogging when the ferry was running. The ferry is for bikes and people on foot.
This is one of our favorite homes.



Swans are everywhere. This one has been in a small canal for weeks. We pass it every morning on our jog.
