Jemgum

I neglected to post pics of the trip across the border into Germany to the little village of Jemgum.
It was nicer and newer than I envisioned.
After seeing the Jemgum sign, we stopped at the Rathaus, the town hall, where several cars were parked. Inside there was a dignified party going on. We chatted just long enough to find out they were celebrating the ending of a very long war that took place in the seventeenth century. They didn't seem to invite us to stay so we went elsewhere, explored, went to a grocery store, and I think we were probably fodder for conversation the rest of the day.
There was one old windmill in town, still being used. A nice guy let us look in it.
