European Adventures!
I just returned from a delightful trip to Amsterdam and Paris with my wonderful husband, Greg. Spring is such a gorgeous time of year, although we had rain nearly every day. That didn't stop us from walking many miles each day and enjoying every minute. The flowers were stunning and the food superb. We made sure to stop in the local book stores, both those with books in English and those only in Dutch or French. It's fun to see what various cultures enjoy reading!
Highlights of the trip included two canal boat rides in Amsterdam, one in the afternoon and one in the evening; The Van Gogh museum, also in Amsterdam; Monet's home in Giverny, Notre Dame Cathedral (still not open) and an amazing flower market in Paris with my favorite flowers in abundance: the hydrangeas, or Hortense in French. The local boulangerie (bakery) near our place in Paris was out of this world. We miss stopping there for freshly baked fruit tarts and chocolate croissants! Remember when your parent read to you?
