| Walking from Vollendam to Edam--a beautiful canalside community |
 |
| In front of an Edam cheese shop. Needless to say, they are everywhere, but we barely got a taste before moving on. |
 |
| One of the 1,000 original windmills left in Holland. The miller also served as a guide and was quite interesting explaining the history of the windmill. This particular one is a water mill and the walls are made of thatch which lasts 100 years before it has to be replaced. |
 |
| The inside of the mill. It didn't look that old, but the miller said it was all original--about 350 years old. |
 |
| The blades were going around like mad and although you can't tell from the picture, there was an illusion of one's head easily being chopped off by a whirling blade. We were safely in front of the fence though. |
