London and Paris
One look at the many pics on Sierra’s facebook will summarize this trip. We loved seeing the high points, travelling in a group where details were covered and fitting so much in. The Jack the ripper tour was novel in London. We spent longer in Paris and I loved running on the river path and through Monet’s impressionist Garden by our hotel. We walked, Sierra had fun shopping with friends and I spent a fabulous afternoon at the Pomedeu ?? Modern Museum. I would do another tour and so would Sierra, if a little more upscale for me.

Amsterdam
It seems like so long since we were in Amsterdam. We loved it!!!! Here are some highlights:
Patriotic party scene on arrival celebrating the Holland World Cup team. Everyone was wearing orange, most were drinking and cheering as they walk and cheers. Streamers, balloons and window displays like the 4 tier marzipan player soccer ball and cleat cake complete the picture. What it means for us though is that we have to pay a trumped up amount to hire a cab to take us part way to the hotel and then walk the rest of the way through carooning fans.
Bakeries were better than anywhere we travelled, people the friendliest, streets so happy-cycle friendly.
We cycled, walked along the canal, saw the red light district, went to a place that Savannah’s Dutch friend Merill recommended, a traditional Dutch town with windmills, Hersh toured to Van Gogh Museum and I cycled far into the countryside while Sierra could sleep in and have some computer time.
