Walking around Soest, you find this sort of thing from time to time. Its just there. I think its a gnome, but why?
There are several train stations in Soest and this is the smallest. Ironically, its called Soest as if it were the main one. It also is one stop away from our stop of Soestdijk. We take the train from it after we have had our Thai massage.
One of the many nice things of having Joy visit, is that she's a chef. In this case, its great burgers.
On Saturday, there is a market in Amersfoort and we take the bus over there and Joy rides the bike.
I think this is a French car. It holds 2 people but not much else.
Linda and Joy check out the large church in the middle of town and find this organ.
On another day, Joy heads for Amsterdam to see museums and we take the train to Utrecht. This town has canals too. Here we have the garbage truck, Dutch style.
We stop for a coffee at a cafe by one of the canals that we have been to before and we are joined by this old, nude woman holding 3 chickens. There is a story here but who knows what that is.
Utrecht is the home of Dick Bruna who created this rabbit in many children's books and became very famous, especially in Utrecht.
In the evening, Lizzie drove us to her band rehearsal. The band is called "Queen" and so they sing Queen songs. The lead singer is Herma - a good friend of Lizzie's and quite the performer. We picked her up at her house and drove about 45 minutes south to the drummer's house. He has created a studio in the backyard and his wife tends a lovely garden.
Lizzie plays the keyboard and sings backup.
Herma has center stage.
The second keyboarder also works the synthesizer and sometimes plays an electric guitar using a special app on his table - way cool.
We listened to a free concert for about 2 1/2 hours. It was great.
