Rest Day Wyk aan Zee

There is not a whole lot to say today except that we managed to walk around almost 7 km in this very small town. It took us a while to find the local grocery store so we could buy raisin buns, some of those fabulous strawberries and a bag of licorice ( which has already been consumed. Jeff was complaining about the noise my chewing was making). The produce in that store was amazing. I just don't understand why hotels and restaurants are so skimpy with that. 

We are on quite a hill so anytime we want to go somewhere it is down and then up again. We did this a few times already today and I'm sure we are not done. Down we went, after breakfast, to look for a small church where my dad preached during his vacation, in the late '40's and early '50's, to help pay for our holiday stay here in Wyk aan Zee. My brother, Pete, had sent me a pic of it and we found it. It is now someone's studio. It was along the side of the very large open field in the middle of town, a unique feature of this place.

We went for a lovely lunch of tomato soup and sat behind the typical glass panels, on the beach. However, there was not the usual wind. We have had none of that since we arrived. We had some mint tea, made with fresh leaves, with our lunch. Very good. Tonight we are going back to this place on the beach because they are famous for serving mussels from Zeeland! 

I am including some pics of my cousin and his wife today from when we visited them two days ago.
