INTRODUCING
We are Menco and Janice from Guelph, Ontario. We have 3 adult children and 3 younger children still living at home between the ages of 22 & 10.. We have family in the Netherlands so we plan on going there July to August 2019. We are also hoping to go to Lower Normandy in France for a mid-week trip during this time. Being from Canada, long trips are an every summer occurrence. Since we are both teachers, we have a number of weeks where we can take time away for a period of time. Out children are used to helping out and can entertain themselves while travelling. We are hoping to find a place to stay near St. Milo (Rennes) France and near the Zwolle (Nederland) vicinity. Our home is open for a swap for all or part of this time, or if you are not planning on a trip to Canada this year, maybe next summer our home will be available again for a couple of weeks.

Other Comments
John McCrae's, who wrote the poem In Flanders Field, home is in Guelph. Scottish stone masons settled in Guelph and its nearby town of Fergus, so many of the older buildings are solid stone. Lake Erie, Lake Ontario, and Lake Huron are fresh water lakes all within driving distance to camp or spend a day at the beach.
