When you think of The Netherlands, how can you not think about windmills?  Until you come over here, you do not realize how many windmills there are, and that they are still in use.

This is an interesting site.  I learned that there are 1150 windmills…. they only count working windmills!  They are currently renovating many old windmills.

This windmill was renovated in 2003

The windmill we visited in Akersloot.

Some of the big gears.

Of course you have to sew the sacks for the grains and flour.

We bought some brown flour and spelt flour… interesting souveniers.
