Large windmill.
Did you know that you can turn the top to face the wind. I always wonderd about that.
Who knew?




Old church, top and bottom, in Groningen.

Westerbork was the camp that Anne Frank and many many others stayed at before being shipped to larger death camps (The Frank family was actually on the last train that left before liberation). They had a special on Anne Frank at the museum.

Caroline, Sarah, and Albert.
At the example Peter Stuyversant was going to use when he built New Amsterdam ( now New York). It is a dirt wall that, back in the day, they put around villages and what-not for protection.


Spent the weekend at Carolines. They took me to Eindhoven, lichtstraat or light city. The home of Philips, a major brand that started with light bulb production.
And to Westerboek.
And Groningen, a large old city.

Hi Elise,
Is Caroline a friend from school?
The Anne Frank collection at the museum is interesting. I think many of us are saddened, and yet interested, in that period of history. I am glad you are able to see so many things in Holland.
PS...There is a working Danish windmill in Iowa. We knew they turned. :-)
Love,
Doty
