June 23:

Its still two days before we leave these mountains, but our minds are starting to think about leaving for Holland. Linda goes out for a walk along our regular path.


















After she returns, we walk downtown and buy two pillows, two pillow cases, and two pillow protectors. That's $100 gone. But, we need some good stuff and Linda guaranteed that they would fit in our luggage. They are flat and big and not puffy. We have not been able to find that kind of pillow in the States. Looking forward to using them first in Soest and then in Washington, D.C.


This is the shop where we bought the pillows and learned about the owner's problems with trying to get medical aid for her 92 year old mother from the national health service. Interestingly, she didn't need help until her mother was 95. Think about it.

We walk up to the town square and have a coffee.




Linda wanted everyone to know what the store's name was where we bought the pillows. It was a beautiful day, and we stayed at the cafe long enough to decide we wanted real food and ordered hamburgers. Not a bad way to spend the middle of the day.

Later we had dinner at the restaurant downstairs from our apartment and shared a pizza.

We were hungry and didn't remember to take a picture until it was almost gone. Sorry about that.
