I thought about my Mom many times this morning. So field trip was a park with Mult acres with millions of tulips. You will see the pictures. Must be a short window to see them bloom like this? The ones at my house seem to last for a long time week lol Going to have to to do some research on the tulip business… someone said it is the number one agricultural crop in Holland.

We are traveling in a very nice new coach. Motoring through Germany on the autobahn (where there is no speed limits) just love seeing 100,000 dollar plus cars passing the bus going 150 mph plus?? but the coolest thing is the sound of the Porsche 911 running full throat!

These windmills are fascinating. They were mostly used to pump water but also for milling grains in fact our constitution was written on paper that was made from a windmill. This windmill had an “overseer “to add resistance and when I was up by the blades a strong gust of wind hit and the power torque was impressive. I think you will see it in the video?

Toilets 

Maybe Morgan can find the picture in the toilet in North Vietnam with the “do not squat on rim of the toilet sign? Gosh we laughed! Well the other extreme of toilets is here. First on all toilets they have two flush buttons to minimize water usage…the biggest button uses more water when you push it. That’s new to me. But the greatest technology in toilets was at German truck stop we stopped at and by the way had a very nice lunch, first the bathroom usage cost one euro but it was very clean… but when you flush the toilet the seat will spin and will self clean! I will get on video lol
