Canals, boats, and bicycles

We've now been in 3 cities in the last month that are "canal cities". Third time is a definitely a charm; Budman and I finally took a canal tour. Partly due to the clearing weather, partly due to the need to take a rest from all the walking, we embarked on an afternoon canal excursion. Three things were obvious: this is a town of canals, boats, and bicycles.
