We took the bikes out today and did a bit more exploring locally. We've found a grocery store called Digros that we hadn't known about. Apparently this is one of the less expensive stores, but we thought it was pretty cool. We'd thought that the local markets were pretty good, albeit a bit small. Digros is now officially my favorite and it will be well worth travelling a bit further for a market with loads more items and choices (particularly Dutch foods) - and lots of things we have yet to try but will.
We found the local marina and explored the area around it, had lunch, and did a shop at Digros before heading home.
After unloading our goodies, we decided it was too nice a day not to hop back on our bicyles and do some more explorining in town and then to the dunes. We are so fortunate to be living near such beauty in which we can spend relaxing time without having to travel or be on holiday.
On Sunday we drove to Voorschoten (a town bordering Wassenaar) where they were holding a jazz festival. There were multiple small stages along the Laangstraat (main street) and we stopped at a restaurant with outdoor tables for a snack and a couple of beverages (can you believe more beer??). It was a bit strange to hear the singers talk to the audience in Dutch and then transition to blues and jazz songs in English.
We met some American friends with whom we chatted for quite some time (unfortunately, they are at the end of their 'tour' and will be US-bound in August). We thoroughly enjoyed another relaxing day. The bike ride home was pretty chilly as the temperature had dropped significantly by late afternoon and the wind had picked up - brrrrrr!
Sorry that the video of the green guitar is sideways - but I thought it worth the post - he was, well, fun to watch.
I've included a picture of a guy with a great 'tash - and another (above) that I wouldn't want to hire as a babysitter! :)
