On our tour of village center, we visited the Wassenaar Dorpskerk (Village church). The current church has been in existence since 1573, which makes it the oldest church in Wassenaar. There were two rather curious holes (photo left) in the walls. These holes allowed people (such as lepers) who were not allowed in the church to hear the sermon.
That is preventing disease transmission at its best!

Strategically placed holes in the walls of a church? Hmm. Nice to see how much you're learning about prevention from a different perspective. Can't wait to hear more in person. Hope you're having fun. Think you'll be able to bring back some tulips? (=

Glad to hear you are getting some perspectives on medical care. There are probably alot of neat things we can learn, particuliarly about wellness from the Netherlands. I would like to have a party when you all return and hear more about your experiences. I will invite all concerned, Barbara, Stovy, Neil, Nat, etc.
Sorry I did not sign my name to my previous note re the party etc. But glad to hear everything is going well.
