Jennie hugging a bishop at the local puppets fountain - we'd seen a similar fountain in Aachen, where it's called the Puppenbrunnen, so I wasn't at all surprised to find one here.

Address: Market square
Tomb stone in upright position leaning against the facade of the local church, St. Peter and Paul. Very peculiar - notice the black hands and the black head at the bottom. I couldn't find any name on the stone, but thought I could recognize the word 'semper' (always)

That's me in front of the local church, with what is apparently the heraldic sign of the town of Straelen.

We made a short tour through the town centre in search of old houses - maybe some of my ancestors lived here in past centuries.

Straelen in Germany (NRW), just across the Dutch border. My oldest known ancestor to date, one Jan Floeren, was mayor of this town in the 16th century.
