What an exciting day we had today. This is a picture we took outside of the cottage where we are staying in Groenlo. Notice the snow! We then headed out to visit many Dutch students and teachers. We were impressed by the many bikes that we saw. We were also impressed by the beautiful, clean schools that we visited. All of the schools have large windows that allow light to shine into the classrooms. We were greeted with friendliness and warmth wherever we went.

In Joyce's classroom Mr. Hayward was offered a traditional Dutch "treat". Here is the picture that Mr. Savoy took of him while he was swallowing his raw herring dipped in onions.

A highlight of the day was our visit to the Canadian War Cemetary in Groesbeek. Annelies told us that we were actually standing on Canadian soil while at the cemetary because to land to honor the brave Canadian soldiers was given to Canada by the Dutch. We have included below a couple of pictures that we took while we visited the graves.
