Amsterdam Shipping Museum
I was walking past, but haven’t gone through it.
Schneeballen
The schneeballen looked great, so I got the Bailey’s one at one of the many Christmas markets in Berlin. The cookie is flavorless and it’s just a thin layer of chocolate swirled between cookie layers. I think I might have to try a different flavor to give them a fair rest.

Dutch Winter Snacks
These stands have popped up in the last month in Amsterdam to make it easier to buy an assortment of fried foods.
Venice after 50
After spending our 50th birthdays in Verona, a few of us (Jeff, Laura, Abbe, Lorie and me) migrated to Venice for a couple of nights. We continued our luck with sunshine, even though it was a bit cold, but at least there was no flooding. We didn’t realize that November is the start of flood season in Venice.
