Now its our turn for Chanoch and I to be be the guests
rather than the hosts.
We are off to Amsterdam for soaking up lots of ART and
hopefully not too much rain.
Many of the
canal boats are retired cargo ships converted to living. There are varying lengths, some as long
as 65 feet; live aboard ships. Then there are some barges.
We found our place on one of the vacation rental sites, was
hoping they had a blog or website so I could learn more about their boat. In the end, we just decided to take the
plunge in booking this one family's home on the Amstel River.
Today is a busy
day as we are getting together with our Dutch friends. We first met them last year when they rented one of our Vacahaven vacation rentals in
Key Largo, Florida:) Truly a highlight of the trip to walk around and hang out at a cafe' for the afternoon!
Our last day was spent at the Rembrandt Huis; Here is his front room. he hosted guests as well:) Visiting artists, dealers and prospective buyers. Their beds at that time were boxes; they slept propped up.

Besides being smaller in stature, they slept propped up.
Amsterdam is lovely- trying to hold Chanoch back from buying another boat- except I wouldn't mind at all:) I look forward to our return!
