Amsterdam

On our return trip, we took the opportunity to step out of the airport in Amsterdam, Holland. Although it wasn't the hight of the tourist season, we did manage to find a tour to take us around town. Our first stop was a wooden shoe factory where those charming wooden shoes, so associated with Holland, are made. Yes, some people really do where them, although I hear that running in them can cause blisters.

Rembrandt was from Holland and the people here seemed particularly proud to call him Dutch. A number of his works are on display at the art museam.
