Tuesday, May 31

Chilly, cloudy, windy, and a little rain. In other words. 99% better than yesterday. We and our two housemate couples got on the road early and had a beautiful ride down into nearby Belgium.

Baarle-Herzog and it's twin town of Baarle - Nassau are about 15K south of here. They are in Belgium. but there are many enclaves within town which are Netherlands. And some if those enclaves actually surround pockets of Belgium. Along the sidewalk are painted dotted lines with B on one side and NL on the other. Many buildings are in both countries. Crazy.  Building a border wall would be a challenge for Trump.

The picture is of a well-made thatched roof. There are a lot of them in the countryside but none in the towns because of fire danger.
