A day spent reading and walking locally.
In the middle of the bridge (the white one below) is a little plaque: “Gozen Jaclbus Doorn 1928 - 1999. Goos Jan Doorn 1954-2022.”
Gozen was an artist who lived (and died) in Abcoude.
Abcoude
Day Five - Into the Netherlands
We drove North to get to apartment number two in Abcoude, The Netherlands. A somewhat slow journey. The apartment is nice with a canal/river outside of the back door. A man was bravely travelling in a small row boat against the flow to get between the banks. Someone was attaching material to a windmill type machine across on the other wise of the river. It seemed to be used to pull something up from the river when the sails turned.
