Tortured Artist Tour


Spent several hours at the van Gogh Museum. I didn't realize he'd been so prolific... creating more than 850 paintings in his short life, and Amsterdam's van Gogh Museum has the largest collection. The museum also had a traveling exhibit of John Everett Millais pieces from the Tate Museum. I love his Ophelia painting so that was a treat to see.

The rest of the day we wandered around... ate at a great Indonesian restaurant... sat at an outdoor cafe for a drink, enjoying the sun.

Ahhhh, nieuwe haring! That there is one of my favourite foods in the world. It's what sushi would have been like if the Japanese had been strapping six-footers.

While on the subject of food, the frites from this place are superlative. Especially with satay sauce.
