I'm back in Maastricht, Limburg province,
The Netherlands.
The Maas River through Maastricht
The Old Wall built around the city in the 11th Century
The city of Maastricht is a very old place built with a wall around it, in the Eleventh Century, to protect it. Currently it's a 'big college town' with tons of kids (~22k students) riding bicycles and walking to and from classes. The City was dying about 40 years ago and so they donated lots of old buildings all over town to the College and now the place is booming! Just about anywhere we walk we come across a College building, but no big main campus. No dormitories. You can tell where the students are by the bicycles parked outside. (blue tires are rentals)
