We have been having a blast with our good friends who moved here from California. Even though it has been rainy and cold- it hasn’t slowed us down! We have walked all around the city, took a train to Hamburg, went to a farmers’ market and paddle boated around their beautiful lake. The kids, Jesse and I went to Claudia’s school and spent time seeing the school where she works. Emerson also got to spend a day at school with Becky. How fun! In their English class- they discussed bad words. All the kids were very attentive for that lesson!
Being here has been like staying at a spa. They have a sauna and a hot tub. Claudia makes killer food- so we are eating well! I think Emerson would like to stay here indefinitely!

I believe in getting really into the experience of what living in a windmill would be like…

Windmills in Kinderdijk (a village in the Netherlands)
These things are powerful! To harness the power of water is pretty brilliant. The Dutch figured out ways to effectively catch the wind and even used the positioning of the arms to tell other windmill operators how to best position theirs. The different positions also signified births, deaths, weddings, etc in the community. Necessity is the mother of amazing inventions.
