Bike Riding

Today we adventured out on bikes. With the help of our new friends (Joraam and Rosaly) who hosted us for Friday night dinner, Saul planned a wonderful bike ride in the area north of Amsterdam. It began with a ferry ride with our bikes to the otherside of the river IJ. The ferry ride was about 5 minutes. Jory began the day in a bike seat in front of Saul that is up by the handle-bars. By the end of the day we had moved her into "the box", which is literally a box with a seat and seat belt that is placed between the front wheel and the handle-bar. These seem to be very popular around Amsterdam - good for carting your kids, dogs or groceries. Jory looked like a little princess eating her cheerios being driven around by Saul.

We explored the wetlands and saw some really unbelievable pastural scenes as well as beautiful old towns. We do not have so many photos from our adventure so you will have to trust us that it was beautiful! Check out our map - still working on remember the entire route - but this should give you a nice idea of our trip.
