Clydesdales in De Pijp
I wasn’t quick enough with the camera, but the Heineken wagon, which is pulled by two Clydesdale horses, went in front of our door as I was walking out. I could hear them, before I saw them, as I was walking up to the door.
They just tour around the city. You can read about them here: https://www.theheinekencompany.com/about-us/the-heineken-stables
Niagara Falls is Impressive
We took advantage of a 14 hour layover in Toronto to go see Niagara Falls, which neither of us had seen before.
Space Shuttle Trainer
I had the opportunity to tour the trainer for the Space Shuttle at the Museum of Flight in Seattle.
Art and Real Life
I don’t know who the artist is, but it is posted outside of the Van Gogh museum in Amsterdam.
I think this is the right bridge as featured in the painting, so I tried to frame the photo to match.
We went to the train museum in Utrecht today, Spoorwegmuseum.
If you are a transport nerd, you’ll enjoy it. We did!
I
also have a video of a steam train that they got working while we were there. See:
Amstel Locks
Usually there are locked doors keeping people off of the locks, but today Piper and I were able to get out on them.
