Boat ride

Gerrit Nijland (my 1st cousin twice removed) and his wife took us for
a canal cruise in Utrecht. A very interesting city. Originally built
by the Romans about two thousand years ago as a fortification on the
Rhine, it was a trading center until the Rhine was dammed and shifted
course in the 14th century. It is also the religious center of the
Netherlands.

My Grandfather's cousin is very nice, and was fun to meet. He was a
naval architect during WWII and after, designing and repairing all
sort of ships.
