This weekend

We're off to Utrecht again for the weekend, and Rene has booked us into a 'secret' hotel for Friday and Saturday nights - love the intrigue! On Saturday we're dining with the former neighbours, an eclectic group of lovely people, some of whom have left the street like we have.

If you missed the Facebook link, Utrecht and Dutch society was written about today in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette - it makes fascinating reading: http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/12059/1213032-51.stm


This is from 1880-1890.


There's a tiny part of the bridge in this present day picture - the old medieval city centre has remained quite intact, escaping the bombing of WW2 that destroyed much of Den Haag's historic centre.
