Sorry, no pictures this time; we are at an internet cafe with no port for downloading from the camera memory card.
We have spent the last two days in Amsterdam, walking tours, trams, museums, boat on the canal. Last night an organ concert at the church with one of Holland's largest organs.
The hosts at the B&B are great. Spirited discussions of the state of the world over breakfast. So far, Mike and Hans have found no reason to disagree. The stairs at the B & B are straight up. Marcia is working on her fear of heights. An aerobic exercise, especially with a back pack on our backs. We are on the third floor.
There will be a picture, when we can download it, that shows that you may be able to take Marcia out of the accounting office but you can't take the accounting out of Marcia.
Eating well.
Last night, pancakes as big as a pizza. Thin, with bacon, mushrooms, etc. When we walk in the door, the English menus are already in the hands of the wait staff. What does that say????
Tomorrow, we are planning to go to the Delta Works. An incredibly, creatively built system of dikes, dams, and sea walls. We should learn from the Dutch!!!!!
