Gregory Garceau commented on Day 37: Kerkdriel to Cuijk

I've seen a couple cannon demonstrations and have always wondered why it takes so long to fire off a shot. Hopefully the original militiamen were a little faster--especially if an invading army was quickly moving in.

Yes, that's a soprano recorder. A fife would look like a small flute and blown on the side rather than the top. What a cool experience to find along the road! We came across re-enactments a couple times on our tours.

They looked like greyhounds but smaller. Breed?

You tell us this every time we see them, and we never rememmber. Probably because we are not sailors. And never will be. Dodie especially is afraid of being in or on water.

What kind of dog is that, I wonder. Blackhounds?

Optimists! The way thousands of kids the world over (including our boys) are introduced to sailing.

Looking forward to your Maas/Meuse trip. We took route from Maastricht back to Amsterdam in 2019. At the last minute decided not to head down into France. Some day.

Maybe the name was lost in translation. The materials had said the Biesbosch had water "buffel",which we took to be water buffalo, and showed this beast. We did not think it looked like any water bufdalo we ever saw either, but?...?

We had one eye on that cell the whole time we were riding. It missed us!
