Amsterdam First Day

(Jessica is providing the text for her pictures.) The canal as we were leaving the airport.

A building on the way to our hotel in Amsterdam. I think it looks like a castle.

We were told that some people live on boats like this in Amsterdam.

Our hotel in Amsterdam. Need I say more?

Food!!!!! Our first dinner was a buffet. Some of the things I ate included this roll with chive butter, onion soup, green salad, pasta salad, chicken, battered fish, and fettuccine Alfredo.

A church.

Beautiful trellis roses climbing up an apartment building. My Mom noticed the fine-looking brickwork in this picture instead of the roses. Does this come from her growing up in a construction family?

We even went to a local park where we saw some amazing scenery, including this pond with water lilies.
