Whoa!!! I am SOOOO tired! But, it’s been a fun day. It’s always fun to talk with people about God’s mission and see them begin to put things together in their minds. We had a good session this morning learning about some of the amazing things going on in this world of ours.

Ten Boom Museum in Haarlem

We left after our study to take a train to Haarlem and visit the ten Boom Museum. It’s amazing that many people in Haarlem don’t even know what it is, but no one who has been there will ever forget the experience. I was happy to see that the group had our favorite guide today, a wonderful lady who personally knew Corrie ten Boom. She does a beautiful job of telling the story of the Hiding Place and sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ.

Tonight we ate Dutch food family style at a restaurant we had not visited for several years. The food was yummy and plentiful. Several had commented that they has seen restaurants for every ethnic food imaginable – except Dutch. Well, there ARE Dutch restaurants, but not that many. The explanation given is that when Dutch people want to eat Dutch food, they stay at home and eat in their Dutch houses. But, for visitors like us, it’s always good to get a glimpse of typical Dutch food.

Tomorrow, after our morning stsudy, we board the train yet again, bound for the city of Utrecht and a visit to a real castle. Tell you all about it tomorrow.
