Saddle....

Sore is how I would describe how I feel today. After our delicious breakfast of fresh baked bread, crepes, fruit and cold cuts we headed back to Central Station where we rented a couple of bikes. We rode them out of town to experience the Dutch countryside. It's difficult for me to put in words what we saw today because it was so breathtaking. Being out in the fresh air with the wind in our faces felt so good. We saw farms, animals such as sheep, goats, ducks, horses and cows, and windmills. Big, beautiful windmills, the kind you think of when someone says Holland or the Netherlands. We got right up to one and witnessed another one moving. We rode many miles today and were very sore and tired when we returned to Delft. We had dinner then sat down on a bench in town square and looked over to see a beautiful bright rainbow arching right through the center of two spires of a cathedral. We thought that the only thing that could make this day any better would be to have a Belgian waffle topped with ice cream. So we did.

I was yearning to be there after reading your description of the Dutch countryside and the windmills and the rainbow. My camera would be full by now. We're seeing it through your eyes which is almost as good. Love you. Mom

Can't wait for pictures. Hope you had a waffle for me, too.
