Tomorrow, we leave for the Netherlands where my wife has made great plans to see the tulips in bloom. I'm moderately excited since their tulip crop is world renowned. That said, flowers are kind of a girly thing so I'm starting to scheme for a chance to see some windmills.
Windmills, as this article points out, are chock full of all kinds of cool engineering minutia and design trades. Much geekier than flowers. For added nerd enjoyment, I may also try to look at some dikes. I know at least one five year old boy who would love to stick his finger in one.
I'll try to have photos next week. What will be in those photos is yet to be determined.

Alison: Ummm, are you implying that the only good windmill is a dead windmill?
no, I love windmills. I've been living in a house oozing with testosterone for the last decade. I'm never enticed into the computer room with videos of flowers, butterflies, or dances. It's all about destruction. Welcome to your next decade...
My gosh! great photos... I am so glad you take your camera with you where ever you go! So we can all, in a way, enjoy your trip with you.
I have to vote for beach & flowers on this go around.... kids on beach have what you call, a bit more human interest, than kids in front of a windmill... whether the windmill is standing up, or lying all over the ground.. :) as in Alison's favorite windmill...
thanks! as always for photos and posting!
