Today we took the car out for a random drive, one of the best kinds. We ended up driving into the Groene Hart (Green Heart in English), an extensive agricultural area. It runs inside the Randstad (City Ring). This turned into one of the most beautiful drives so far. We passed very narrow stretches of villages, castles (Haarzuilens), and older architecture I saw in the Open Air Museum in Arnhem. Some of the older properties maintain the traditional technology on their land, and one private property (De Ham in the town of Vleuten) owned a tower from the 13th century. A few times it was hard to drive out of a town, especially with narrow roads. G was able to easily figure his way around the area and get us home. We had homemade lasagna for dinner, consisting of egg, spinach, salami. We made two pans and had enough for leftovers!
