What a great place!
Amsterdam has been great! We've seen canals, boats, leaning buildings, and prostitutes in little rooms. Okay so that last one wasn't that great but when in Amsterdam...
Today we went to the Van Gogh Museum. It was really exciting to see so many of his paintings that I'd never seen before. We even got to see a couple from Arles. We also went to the Rijksmuseum but it's under construction so we only got to see a fraction of their collection. Although after Van Godh museum the stuff at Rijks seemed a little stuffy (Greg just hurmphed when I wrote that).
We spent the rest of the afternoon the same way we did yesterday, walking around the city. It's kind of like the walking wounded right now. We both have neck pains and at least one foot that hurts every so often. Maybe it's all the walking?
Tonight we are taking a candlelight night boat tour of the canals. It's starts at 9:00. The only problem is the it doesn't get dark until about 11:00. So much for those night shots. Oh well, they're better from dry land.
Tomorrow we may go on a bus tour so I can see some windmills and maybe some tulips. Then the day after, a day trip to Haarlem or perhaps The Haage. It's still up in the air.
Well, Greg's back seat internet driving is driving me nuts so I'm going to sign off. :)
