Scenes from Amsterdam
The Dog on the IJ.
Houseboat Museum
I have been meaning to go to the Houseboat Museum since I frist discovered there was one! Houseboats are so prevalent in Amsterdam and all over the Netherlands, that it’s a little hard to not wonder what they look like on the inside.
All things considered, I’ve lived in smaller apartments. Would you like to know more?
Fellini Exhibition
It was the last week of the Fellini Exhibition which was on as a part of the Eye program for September. Himself and I had been talking about going to this since we saw the very first posters, and we knew that if we didn’t act fast we would run out of time.
It was a wonderful exhibition of Fellini’s life work. Not set out chronologically, but within the themes and obsessions that ran through his life, his childhood, and the films he made. Would you like to know more?
The Wagner Experience
It was a warm and humid day that I was invited to join a friend for a once in a lifetime experience. She had a spare ticket to go and see a performance of Wagner on a container ship. Seriously. Wagner on a container ship! With an invitation like that, who was I to refuse?
We arranged to meet at the Meeting Point at Centraal Station, which is an experience in and of itself if you’ve never tried looking for it before, and it’s not actually signposted anywhere.
It was a good thing I’d gotten there early, as the venue, being movable, had moved. Still in the harbour, just not where we had previously thought it would be. Would you like to know more?
Our Lord in the Attic
In an unassuming canal house, in the old section of town, there is a secret. You have to know to look for it, but it is remarkable!
It looks like it could be any other well-preserved historic house within the grachten gordel. Would you like to know more?
