The setting of the windmills is beautiful, and several other attractions, such as a wooden shoe making demonstration, are interesting. We enjoyed mustard soup for lunch, prepared from mustard seeds ground in one of the windmills.
We also visited Edam and other small villages in the region. Cheese rules!!

Water links so much of the Netherlands and every small town has a canal. Small locks equalize water levels and it seems that everyone has a boat of some kind.

A very interesting and worthwhile day--a fun peek at life outside the hustle and bustle of the capitol!
