Hello everyone!
It was a few hours later than expected, but we made it to Amsterdam. Maybe it was the extra three hours at home or maybe it was the fact that we’ve REALLY been looking forward to this trip, but it wasn’t a bad travel day.
The plane ride was pretty pleasant. The woman sitting directly in front of me celebrated her birthday with champagne (at the insistence of a flight attendant). We saw the Northern Lights over Cape Dorset, Canada. And, another woman from on of the fancy curtained off sections was so impressed with Steve’s knitting and my embroidery that she brought her husband back to our section to show him.
By the time we got into town – we were able to check into the hotel and take a quick nap before wandering around the city.
For those of you who remember my Berlin Buddy Bears – good news! I’ve discovered Amsterdam has GIANT wooden clogs scattered around the city, and I’ve already started my collection:
On an unrelated note, Steve has started a giant fish collection:
We still have a lot of wandering to do, but we’ve already happened upon beautiful alleyways:
Impressive street art:
And, a cocktail or two:
All our love,
Tara (and Steve)
