Groningen People 7.3

Groningen is the capital city of the province with the same name. It's a university city, about 180,000 people living there. It's bustling with people on market day, with one being a goods market and the other a fish market. There are thousands of chairs and small tables all aligned so you can people watch for hours.



I met my Dad's uncle's granddaughter and a friend of hers last Thursday and we had lunch, which for me consisted of a large beer for 3 euro 65, a bit pricey but worth it in the sun.



We went for a short walk but most of the afternoon I spent walking around, going to the wall to get a broodje croquet, and ducking into the odd store to cool off in the a/c.



It's a city I would recommend to anyone, just as nice as Amsterdam, maybe better because it is more of an innocent city, not scarred by the thousands of tourists that Amsterdam gets everyday. I hope to make it part of my travel plans before the end of this trip.
