Artists in Amsterdam

Just returned home from Amsterdam...land of art, bikes, trolleys, amazing food and cappuccinos, canals, canal boats,and flowers. 
Our tour was led by my niece Amberley, who led us like a great mother hen around the city and museums....I learned so much more with her insight about the architecture, art and history. 

Amsterdam is a place where forward thinkers, artists, and innovators thrive. It has such a rich and amazing history...perhaps you'd like to go with us next year? Amberley and I are considering a tour next July....let us know if you are interested! 
I'll post more images soon...much more to see....

Day 2....tour of the Rijks Museum....so much to see....so much beauty to behold.

how great your niece could make it even better.
Your tour and boating must have been a wonderful in July and seeing some of the old masters' work- priceless!

Looks like a possibility for an "Amigos" trip! Josie and I were there in 1968 (were you born yet?) chaperoning a group of US teenagers on an 8-week tour of Europe. Would love to see the city again and all the art. Let's talk about it the next time we're together (Amigos).
