Amsterdam

I love this hotel....how many medium priced hotels still give you soap, a sewing kit, a shoe polish cloth, and a shower cap in little boxes?  Ones that they arrange to make the little panorama???!!!!

Of course, Amsterdam isn't bad either, with bus stop ads like this one....

We took a boat ride this morning through the canals of Amsterdam.

Beautiful buildings

Amsterdam is a blend of the old

And the new

Lucky Luke found the Scheepvaartmuseum - a maritime museum.

A replica of an old Dutch East India Company trading ship, from around 1800. Over 300 men sailed on this ship at together, for months.

There was also a lot of original artwork from the old Dutch masters from the late 1600's. No picture of them.

One last picture of a canal.

Tomorrow we'll see the art museums.
