We're off to the vet.
No, don't worry, mum! I'm not ill. Emjay buys some dietfood for her cats.

We're picking up some groceries in the village Den Hoorn, near Delft. But first we visit the Roman Catholic church. It has a lovely chappel.

Holgi explains to me why the flags are out at some houses. The students who live there have just passed their exams. Look, they hang their schoolbags from the flagpost. What a funny tradition.
Bye for now, Mum!
Big hug,
your Rattie Rat

Hi Mum,
It's a very nice day and we decided to go to the city center by bike. But first Emjay had to work. These are the horses near Emjay's office. Sometimes she can see them from her window.

When we entered the city center, we passed the house of Emjay's friend and vocal coach. Her house is decorated from top to bottom. There's even a little tapdancing mouse!

I think Delft is a pretty city! Holgi is showing me around like a tourist guide. He knows a lot about Delft, cause he has been here for a couple of month.
This, for example, is the statue of Hugo Grotius. He was a jurist born in Delft. He was also a philosopher, a theologian, poet, playwright, Christian apologist and historian. He laid the foundation for international law. Because of his free ideas, he once was imprisoned in a castle and fled from it by hiding in a book chest. This became a wellknown legend in Dutch history.

Holgi and me are at the market square. Behind us is the Nieuwe Kerk (New Church). Well, not exactly new: it was build in 15th century!

Looks like there's been a flood. But this is the normal level of the canal. People have to be careful, stepping out from their backdoor, or their feet will get wet!
