The Villages

I started out keeping a careful journal of the pictures, the exact location and time of each photograph.  Eventually, I realized that it just didn't matter.  Friesland is Friesland and a Frysk village is a Frysk village:  a brick church, an old windmill, a canal, a collection of houses, and some farm animals.  Because of the almost incessant rain, I didn't get the photos I wanted, but I'll make a composite village using representative examples of those I was able to click.

The lovely canopy road leading to Dragster-Compagnie

The church and graveyard at Twijzel where some of my ancestors are buried. 

The windmill near Wanswerd

House with peat moss roof -- Still frequently used.

Homes come in a variety of sizes and shapes but typically will have a steep pitched roof and brick walls.

And maybe a small shopping section.

Loved the trip through the villages and am so very glad I had the opportunity to indulge myself in this little luxury.
