and no pictures yet of windmills!
so we took a sunday family drive (i can't remember the last time
driving was recreational!) to explore noord holland and see if we couldn't find any windmills. we left amersfoort after lunch and took a 20 kilometer road right over a bay off the north sea. it was amazing and made you realize why people used to think you could drive off the edge of the earth. we made our way up to Enkhuizen
which was a beautiful port city--to the right is a boat picture i took for grandpa ken.
we then looped inland and headed south towards the zaans schanse where we were told we'd see windmills. and we did. it was an entire little windmill village--complete with cute dutch dames making wheels of gouda in little white frocks, a clog museum complete with giant yellow clog for climbing on, fancy clogs for getting married in, and teeny little baby clogs. and ducks hanging out on little bridges quack quacking. but i did promise windmmills, didn't i?
so here we are in holland

Wow, To be mobile like that, to travel to cultural icons and visit storybook places, to experience unique timeless technologies, and to share those times with the most important people in your life - someone's pretty lucky here! Cara, you know those people are good because they operate sailboats! I just can't wait to be able to walk up the driveway to go boating. But, first we have to get past this snow - you saw it if you watched the Seahawks seal up the Packers! No school the last two days. By the way, were those windmills spinning? Keep the adventure fresh!
Love Ganpaw
