I the incredible opportunity to go on an art/history tour of Europe after my third year of college. This was before I started blogging, but it's something I'd like to share and because I'm getting excited to return to some of the places we went. I am hoping I can find my travel journal someday, because honestly I can't remember a lot now, and I know the journal was quite thorough. We had to write in it for credit. When I find it, I'll enter it here.
Actually I can't even remember when we went where, so I may just post pictures from different places in separate entries. I'm going to begin with Amsterdam and Belgium because I do know they are where we started.
Here is what I remember. We were extremely tired when we got to Amsterdam, but we looked at windmills anyway. We visited Ann Frank's house. The buildings are extemely narrow with hooks at the top of them to haul up furniture and other items to the top of the houses. We took a boat ride. We went to a very good Vermeer museum.
In I believe it was Belgium, we stayed in a boat hotel, ate the best French fries with an enormous amount of choices for sauces, and I had one of my favorite experiences of the entire trip. We went on a bike tour through Brugge learning tons from our guide about the area and the World War II history that occurred there.
