OF GOATS AND BARNYARD ANIMALS, CANAL ROWING AND WINDMILLS

Today, 30 June 2012 Michael Mantz took Daniel, Gloria and Raphael Mantz, Angie their nanny and me to Animal Farm in the suburbs of The Hague or Den Haag in Dutch for a day's outing.

It was such a lovely day though dark clouds gathered as we rowed a rented boat (5 euros for 1 hour) on a canal with 3 historic windmills standing conveniently nearby!
