Amsterdam I

Well, we took a trip for a week to Amsterdam. We stayed in a nice little hotel (attic room where we needed a key and a bathrobe to get to our bathroom). From Amsterdam we took trains around to visit the countryside. We did a lot of museuming, visiting the van Gogh museum, Rijksmuseum, Mauritshuis (in the Hague) and Kroeller-Muller museum (there should be umlauts on some of these letters, but I am lazy). Amazing art everywhere.

Here we are in Amsterdam at the flower market where, what else, they are selling bulbs!!!!!

There was a fabulous glass gallery right down the street from our hotel (and exciting for me since I had just come from my glass class and I could talk relatively intelligently about what we were looking at (well, not this particular piece - cute, no?)

There are many houseboats in the canals - with plants growing all around.
