It is our final day on the bike tour. We rode the last 34 miles back to Amsterdam. One picture is from a lunch stop at a windmill outdoor museum. There were three windmills that were performing different activities: pressing seeds for oil, sawing wood and crushing gypsum into powder. Many windmills are also used to pump water out of lake areas to keep them from getting flooded. During our ride, we ended up taking a small ferry with a chain and a hand crank across a canal. There is a picture of June, our Italian member of the group, cranking away to get the second half of the group from one bank to the other. The third picture is of our farewell dinner on the boat. It has been a great week and we have made some fine, new friends! The last picture is just a pretty one from earlier in the trip.
