The Drive Thru

Is there anything more American than a drive thru?  Fast food, banking, pharmacy, groceries?  Well, we heard there was a drive thru windmill and of course we had to see it!  It’s in Wijk bij Duurstede, 19 kilometers (11.8 miles) southeast of Zeist.  We went with Sister Lucero and Sister Lechtenberg, our favorite biking companions!  

We saw some beautiful rural Dutch country.

 We shared the narrow country lane with bikes of all sorts and large farm equipment.

The prize at the end of the road was the windmill.  Amazing and totally worth the nearly 24-mile round trip ride!

 

 I think the sisters were jumping with joy when we arrived! : )

Of course, a bike trip wouldn’t be complete without a short break at the ice cream shop!
