Amsterdam # 1
We're looking forward to to new and exciting adventures
Gourmet food at the LAX (Air France) lounge
Our KLM flight is ready to take-off
Clever use of combining airline announcements with Dutch tiles
First time - stem glassware on a plane
KLM served excellent meals - poached egg for breakfast, lobster appetizer for dinner
Big surprise! Passengers gifted with a ceramic model home. Each home has historical significance. Liquor is inside.
Charming young woman helped with wheel chairs and luggage
Our hotel neighborhood - Nice walking area
Hotel counter decorated with traditional (miniature) wooden Dutch shoes
Exhausted but ready to explore
Jerry finds his first manhole
A weeee bit windy
Ornate train station
Always fun to explore European train station shops
Hotel room wall paper depicts famous paintings
First dinner was at a restaurant with historical decorations and traditional food. Carpets (rather than tablecloths) are used to protect tabletops. Older generation folks continue to use carpets
Cute decorations throughout restaurant
Fries and a dish made up of gravy, mash potatoes, meatball and bacon was a traditional dish. Lots of starch!
After dinner stroll
Interesting bike contraption
Arlene befriends one of the "locals!"
After-dinner traditional waffle dessert - Carmel is between the layers
Amazing designer, artistic shoes
Perhaps this "new look" will soon hit the states!?!?!
Plenty of ornate buildings throughout Amsterdam
The train station "glows" from the 9:30 PM evening's sun
Due to we're further north than LA, sunlight is much longer
