It is Saturday and an off-day reserved to tour the city of Groningen and meeting up with relatives I haven't seen for eight years. We met under the Martini tower near the town square and had a traditional mid- morning coffee and Dutch pastry treat. My father rode the train in that morning and so we had a pre- father's day and wonderful family reunion. In the afternoon we visited the local synagogue for a unique clarinet and guitar concerto. Before the intermezzo nineteen clarinetists performed on seven different types of clarinets and after the break seventeen guitar players entertained us with wonderful melodies from Brahms, Bruderl and Isaac Albeniz. The evening was concluded at an Italian restaurant for appetizers, and an elaborate spicy rijst tafel dinner at the Jaffa Indonesion restaurant.
