Goedemorgen Amsterdam!

After a long day flying from Minneapolis to Newark to Amsterdam, we arrived in the early morning hours Monday.

We were thrilled to get to the hotel and freshen up a bit before heading out to the Rijkmuseum to see The Masterpieces collection including a number of Rembrandt's works across his lifespan. The museum tour was followed by coffee and a cheese croissant, and some rather assertive pigeons that quickly wore on Tom's nerves by attempting to steal pieces of food!

We wandered many parts of the city and had a fantastic open air dinner with musicians serenading nearby. Tomorrow we're off on a canal cruise and more museum visits, including the Anne Frank House and the Heineken Brewery.
