Chapter 2 > My New Home - Veghel, Holland
Veghel is a small, industrial city in the south of The Netherlands. I don't think there's much to do here, but the whole country is only about the size of New Hampshire, so I plan to travel around quite a bit.
Here's my house (the outlined one). I have 1 roommate now, I may get more later.
My living room. Cozy.
My humble, yet adequate room.
The H. Lambertuskerk church at night.
And here it is during the day.
The city center, probably my favorite part of Veghel.
The city center at night, right near the church. Notice all of the bikes, everyone bikes here.
Looks like a nice place to take a break, huh?

I too lived in Veghel; from 1977 - 1981. There was a restaurant, Marc's, where the proprietor served the best steak and wine I've ever tasted! I wonder if he still has his shop? I had a girlfriend of von Gehmert (like the village). In the past I tried to write but never received response...
So, figuring she "moved on," I stopped trying.
I did love living there, visiting, Uden, Eindhoven...the whole nation.
Cool pics...brought back memories.
Thank You
Dan Pinnell.

Hey Dan,
the restaurant you are talking about is called Marc's BBQ and is not in Veghel but in Uden!
The place is still in business and hasn't changed since you were there ;-)

I was stationed at Volkel A.B. from 1975-1977 and lived in Uden. I really did enjoy living there and meeting all of the wonderful Dutch people.
Marc's BBQ was awesome!!

...and I lived there last year, my favourite place was bike-path from Veghel, through Maria Heide, then left under the motorway and then... the paradise; bike road placed between the field and the river (direction to Uden). Just paradise! :-)
