Amsterdam!

We had an excellent time exploring Amsterdam yesterday on our off day! We spend the day at the Van Gogh Museum and the Anne Frank House. The Van Gogh museum was spectacular. The museum was having a special exhibit called Van Gogh and the Colours of the Night and the actual original painting The Starry Night was there! Wow, what a sight. We were both so moved and so grateful for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to view such an amazing work of art. The painting circulates, but it's "home" is New York's Modern Museum of Art. Of course, we couldn't take pictures of the painting, but here's one we pulled off the internet to show you in case you aren't familiar with the work of art.







What an amazing structure to house Van Gogh's art!

The Anne Frank Museum was so incredibly moving. We are so thankful we had the opportunity to honor her and her family by visiting the acclaimed "Hiding Place."



We also had the chance to try a few Dutch food specialties!


Yummy "patat" in a cone. The Dutch are famous for putting mayonnaise on their fries!


For lunch, we tried the famed mini-pancakes, called "pofferjes." Delicious!
