Along the Way: life begins at home yet our door is forever open to adventure, new places and new people. Welcome to our travels around the world.September 17, 2017Amsterdam, Europe, I think It's Time For a New Adventure

Before leaving Amsterdam there were three museums we set out to see, the Rijksmuseum, the Bible museum and the Jewish museum. Each one of these gave a different perspective of life, of art and of collectibles. Stories were told as in the Jewish museum, what was inflicted upon them and those who survived.

Where the Jewish museum was a humbling experience the Rijksmuseum was one of stark contrast featuring items of opulence as well as beautiful artwork.

Then we come across the Bible museum which really was only the top floor of another museum which had been one families obsession of collecting things. Many things of all sorts.

So ends another brief picture story for today.

This blog is really about us, my husband Rick and I and our travels. We are retired with grown children and two granddaughters. We travel...exhilarating in new experiences and places and all that each day holds. We believe that life begins to fade once we fail to live into it anymore. So come along the way with us and enjoy the journey too! View more posts
