After Jacob spent the week near Frankfurt for a work conference I flew to meet him and we went to the Netherlands with his coworkers Irena (the boss), Becky and Marcia. We had such a fun time in a unique, lovely country! The windmills are beautiful and plentiful. We went to one location with 19 ancient windmills. And just so you know, there was a constant, strong wind the entire time we were in the Netherlands, so we understand why they harness the wind's power.
We went to a clog-making shop and saw an amazing demonstration about how they make the iconic wooden shoes. Here's a photo of Jacob browsing the wall of clogs; and a photo of me trying some on. Jacob tried on a pair too and found them surprisingly comfortable! To the left is something extraordinary--a clog for horses. No joke. 
We also experienced some of the famous Holland tulips. We went to a huge garden where we saw many breathtaking flowers. Some were outside, some were in huge greenhouses. All were beautiful!
