Amsterdam, Holland

After a 10 minute train ride from Haarlem to Amsterdam, we took the tram to both the Rijks Museum and Van Gogh Museum.
The Rijks Museum contains Rembrants Night Watch. We could not do any photography in either museum.





One thing that Amsterdam has is bikes and canals.









One of the most famous photographed spots in Amsterdam. You can look through and see 7 arches.






It's possible that there are more bikes than cars in Amsterdam.













This is the most photographed bridge. We saw this on our canal boat tour.










Not all people live in houses or apartments. Some live in houseboats on the canals.










Our most sobering and impressive museum, was the Anne Frank House. Again, we could not photograph in the house. It's difficult to believe that there was that kind of discrimination against the Jews and how a family, as well as several others, could survive in such a small space.
