Mike and Cheryl McGinness of Platte City recently returned from a 21-day Viking River Cruise. The Landmark traveled with them on a river cruise from Amsterdam, Netherlands to Budapest, Hungary. Among the many interesting stops was a visit to Kinderdijk, a village in the Netherlands, featuring 19 original windmills built in the 18th century.
