More on Thursday April 15, 2010...

Thursday (April 15, 2010), we were able to tour the "Hervormde Kerk (Dutch Reformed Church) of Langweer" and hear the pipe organ from 1784 that is placed at the back of the church.

Located around the church is a cemetery, this is where Aunt Ruttje de Boer and Great-grandparent Gerrit van der Horst were buried.

This was taken June 7, 1995. This stone is no longer in the cemetery.

After we visited the church, we were able to sign the guestbook at the rear of the chapel...

A video that was on YouTube by a local from Langweer - this man rides pass Uncle Sip's house just after he passes the harbor and as he rounds the corner toward main street. (1:16 minutes and seconds into the video on the left.)
