Hallelujah!

We Awoke to Sunshine. Hadn't seen any sun since October 12th, in Connecticut.

We bought tickets for the hop on/hop off canal boat. As it turned out, we didn't do much hopping but we did get a general, recorded tour in English. We started and ended at the train station so we decided to scout out the platform from which we'll get the train back to Paris on Tuesday. So glad we did. Nothing looked familiar from when we arrived. People were zooming around as if everyone was late for everything, and suddenly my watch was an hour ahead of the station clocks. Did you guess why? The Netherlands goes off daylight savings today, not November 1st like we do at home.

Amsterdam's Central Station, with blue sky!

Yeah, well, it's a tower. We're not sure which one.

The floating bicycle ramp garage at the station.

Because the ground is actually silt, houses settle and become crooked, like the one in the center.

I guess when you live on a boat, a kayak is a good way to buzz around town.
