Gilbert - Food and a Hunebed

 

On Thursday evening we went into town for a walk and something to eat. I spotted a pigeon on the roof of the synagogue.

We went to Poke Spot for dinner, and I got a nice cold soda.

And a beer!

The poke bowl I got was really tasty.

Afterwards we walked home along one of the canals.

It was a beautiful evening.

On Friday we went on a trip by car.

First we went to Rolde for dinner. I got French fries and fried fish. It was really yummy!

Next we went to Hunebed D16 in Balloo.

A hunebed is a kind of dolmen/cairn. This one was dug up completely and later reconstructed with the original stones. Most hunebedden in the Netherlands got accidentally (partly) destroyed. This was because the guy who was in charge of archaeological finds in the Netherlands didn't know how the hunebedden were supposed to look, so he dug off all the sand around the stones, because he thought the sand just blew on the stones instead of the sand being an actual part of the dolmen. I think they still are really impressive even reconstructed and without the sand.

What a lovely place to spend the evening.

I brought a dinosaur magazine to read while enjoying the summer weather.

More hunebed pictures.

It was a beautiful evening at a beautiful spot.

I wouldn't mind returning here in the future.
