Today's Highlight: Beatles style singing
Sorry Guys, this is going to be short. I biked 50 Km today, and I am wiped. Alex, Laura (his girlfriend for those who haven't met her), their French friends Simon and Cliare and I biked to this little Loiusberg-esque village about 25 km outside of Amsterdam. There were 8 windmills, tonnes of baby ducks, lambs and some big 'ol cows lowing in the pastures.
The ride there was fantastic. We cycled through a few small villages, where there wasn't North American styled house to be seen. And most yards were bordered by a canal.
We cycled past beautiful traditional windmills and new hightech looking ones that are the same build as the "noisy'' ones in Cape Breton (their no louder than traffic really.) I got to see well outside th city today, and it was wonderful, I saw towns that are the type that come to mind when us ignorant Westerns think of Holland, as well as some beautiful modern architecture and some stinky landfills (that's right Dad, I got to smell the landfill :)
Anyway, I am dead tired, and I think I will call it and early night, I have to got up to pack a picnic tomorrow, the same group of us are going to go busk in the park. We practiced quite a few songs tonight, and I think we have great chemistry as far as our vocals go. It should be quite fun.
I took some shots of the bike ride with my Holga (sorry Dan, it was a bit to far to carry 2 cameras) and I got a very nasty sunburn on my back, 2 signs of a great summer day. I think it may actually be time to go swimming in the ocean.

Oh! on a side note, today I started writing the family postcards I am writing for my self directed project. I also began picking photos to go with each story on the postcards. I also made an important decision, I am going to send these postcards when they are done, I hope they are well received. I am wondering where to send Grampa's, but I think that will come to me.
I have to get some sleep now
All my love
Emma
