Another day...another town!

Today we hopped the train down to the wonderful town of Nijmegen.  This town is pure beauty at every turn.   This is quite possibly the oldest city in The Netherlands...there's some controversy between Maastricht and Nijmegen for this title.  Nijmegen sits along the Waal River and is only a hop, skip, and a jump away from the border of Germany.   We loved walking around the small roads and discovering the beauty of Sint Stevenskerk (dating back to the 14th century) and the Valkhof, which dates back to 1000 AD. 

We walked the town centre, enjoyed drinks along the Waal River, and had dinner and the wonderful Pinnochio's.  We found out also that kids eat free on Sundays!  Guess where we are gong to make a standing reservation!?!

Look closely at the picture below.  Those specks amongst the trees are our children sitting in front of St. Stevenskerk! Just to give it some perspective, I had to walk about 1/2 a block away and down a flight of huge steps to get this picture. 

 

 

Here's  a wonderful little side street.  I feel like this is a scene from a street in Epcot or Disney World.
