A Day at Rijksmuseum

This Saturday we took the train to Amsterdam to spend the day looking at Rembrandt's masterpieces at the Rijksmuseum. One of the most famous paintings...The Kitchen Helper by VerMeer, was on loan to the Met. Museum of Art in New York. We did get to see The Night Watch, which is gigantic, dark, and typical Rembrandt. It was a nice day, but usual Dutch weather. We always bring an umbrella! We passed one on the street that died a sudden death due to the wind which can be brutal this time of the year. We're planning Oct. break in England, and got tickets for the Chunnel. That should be fun!
