Today I had the privilege of going to the Zeehondencreche, the seal rehabilitation center about 40 minutes outside of Groningen. I went with Leeann (an au pair from PA who I met in Bible study) the two cute kids she watches (Moran and Ot) and her fiance Jimmy. The center finds about 100 seals each year who are in danger, takes them to the center to get them healthy and then releases them back into the wild. At the center, you can see the feeding times, the healthy seals swimming and the sick seals in their quarantined areas. It's very informative and great for kids. The video above is a commercial for the center which is shown on Dutch tv. It was fantastic to be outside of Groningen for a bit, the seals were wonderful, the story was touching and the company was fun! It was a nice day.
