We LOVE to go biking

We were able to get some bikes near the end of April and have been spending any chance we get exploring the countryside.  Our favorite way to explore is to just start out into any direction and try to "get lost" (that is the easy part) and then try to find our way back home.  We are always amazed when we find ourselves in familiar territory and then find our way back.  I have to say that Henk leads the way because he is much better at orienting
himself than I am.  (Without mountains around us to help me know which way is north I am having a tough time.  If it were up to me to get us to church I'm sure we would be late even after being here for this long.)  The amazing thing is that we are in the middle of the city of Zoetermeer. We ride for a couple of minutes and we are in a beautiful forest that is cool and green and quiet.  It seems like every densely populated area is surrounded by forests and farmland so you can always find a beautiful place to go for a picnic or a walk and get away from the city life.
