The Last Dutch Evening

After the Rijksmuseum, we did a little shopping and then ate supper at a cozy little place on one of the narrow streets in Amsterdam. Afterward, we enjoyed some of the sights at night. I have to add that I never enjoy being anywhere near the sad red light district. However, the lights reflected on the canals in the city were a beauty to behold:

The old historic buildings are lit up like ghosts at night.

I LOVE this picture of Mar & Paula doing Amsterdam hard core. It makes me laugh every time because I don't remember it really being like that at all.

But this is probably my favorite picture, maybe even of the whole trip. I think I had a dream like this a long time ago.

Soon, we got back on the train and headed for the hotel to rest for the big journey home. Our colorful trip was over.

So that concludes the story of our Netherlands 07 adventure. I noticed in my pictures there are still little things to tell, so I think I'll institute a new feature in the blog called "Netherlands Nuesday" which will run on Tuesdays. It was either that or "Holland Haturday".

Nice yob Yulia! I actually had a dream last week that I was sitting with Oma on her bed telling her all about our trip. She was thrilled. Too bad I didn't have these pictures to show her.
