This glass Drew my attention, wondering how they got the green dots on there; likely blown glass. I later saw this same glass in a painting!

I love how there's a story behind a painting. This artist could no longer afford to have wine with his bread, so instead, he has water.

I really liked this one with the vibrant blue flowers. This may inspire a fused glass panel down the road!

We wandered to Dam Square, had a delicious lunch of soup and a pancake topped with bacon and cheese! We tasted Gouda cheese in a cheese shop, then taxied back to our hotel.

We sat inside at first, then ended up outside on the back deck for more pictures. It was an enjoyable tour.
Pengembara I feel his love in giving us this gift of travel. We find joy in the discoveries and adventures of each day!

We had a fascinating tour of a working windmill.

Keep in mind, the person running the mill lived there with his family. Here bread was baked for the milling community.

This is where the miller turned the direction of the mill. The top part holding the paddles rotates to align with the wind stream.

A combination of a Moses story and a Harry Chapin song(Cat's in the Cradel). You 2 are probably too young to know that song from 1974.
Pengembara C'mon Daniel, that's my era of music! I can sing 'Cat's in the Cradle' verbatim.

This painting was completed in thirteen days! It is painted in such a way that it feels like a dome overhead, but it's an illusion. It is flat. Amazing!

A summer dining room. Marble floor and tile walls to keep the room cooler in summer.
