Windmills

We finally got to see some windmills!! We spent an afternoon at Kinderdike a town outside of Rotterdam. The town was rebuilt after a devastating flood in 1421, and renamed Kinderdike ("the children's dike") to reflect the discovery of a baby and a kitten on one of its dikes after the storm. The windmills are used to pump the water out of the area.
