Gilbert - A Fun Trip part 1: Birds & More

 

In May we went on a trip!
Diana came to pick us up to stay at her place for a couple of days.
But before driving to her house: 

We went to an event!
'De slag bij Heiligerlee'
It's a reenactment of a battle from 1568.
The battle wouldn't start for a couple of hours when we arrived, but there was other stuff to see as well, so we walked around for a bit.

We met this monk and his owl!
He told us there was a bird show that had just started, so we went there to watch of course.

There was a vulture!

Isn't she cool?!

I forgot what kind of bird this was, but it had learned to hunt together with the dog. Very fun to see them work together. 


Well, this bird doesn't need introduction!



After seeing the bird show we walked around some more, but it was very wet and rainy, so we didn't wait for the battle to start. Instead we drove on to Leer.

Leer is a city in Germany.
We had heard it was a nice city to see and that there was a hunting lodge.

It started raining here as well.
So we decided to go in search for a late lunch first.

Found it!
And it was yummy!

We did some sightseeing when it stopped raining.
