07/16/2004: "HOlland"

Ok ya'll sry i havnt updated this is awhile but we've been driving a lot and didnt have internet connection in Rottenburg, Germany... well a lot hass happned and as i recall i left u when i was just about to go see the windmills... as u can see this is one of the three we saw... Holland was great... that day we went to a little town first around 2 hours away that looked the same as it had a long time ago...with all the origanals houses and a WOODEN SHOE factory... how cool! so we wandered through that and then headed to the windmills...these were for pumping water out of the ground to make sure it doesnt flood. THey were wooden and still work... i got video of it becdause it was very windy and quite stormy... who knew that it actually rained in the summmer...lol aftrer taht we headed back to the hotel and double checked what was ahppening in the Tour de France... had a dinner at the hotel (evidently holland is not known for their food) and then we headed to Madurodam. THis is a little amusment park which is a scale model of Holland... for instance all the BIG building were like 8 feet tall and everything was to scale like the airport and the people and the caste... it was a good way to see holland easily!... so that pretty much ended our stay in holland... i havntg been sleeping very well... usually wake up at 230 and dont get back to sleep...but im doing ok in the car rides... one really cool part was on the way out we stopped in the gift store and the dutch storeowner and i started talking about football and how Van Nistrolly (the star of machester united and the Netherland national team) jus got married... its a blast to be able to converse w/ people that love soccer even mor ethan me...anyways next stop...rottenburg germany...
