Goodmorning Gentle Readers! How are you all? I hope your outlook for the week is exciting and adventurous! I have been exploring again, and have gone to a new museum, which I want to share with you all today; the Museum Van Loon.
In the heart of Amsterdam’s Grachten Gordel (canal ring) you can find the house of the Van Loon family. In 1602 Willem van Loon co-founded the Dutch East India company. Would you like to know more?
I have been putting off this post for over a fortnight now, and for no good reason I can see. I am just lacking the drive to post around here right at the moment. Better late than never though, and here are some of my New Years reflections.
We spent New Years Eve on the couch trying to keep the cats calm and the noise from the fireworks outside at bay. We were mostly successful! New Years Day we went on our annual walk around the park taking photos to document this year’s devastation.
So many ducks were in the park this year! I mean, I know that it has been a remarkably mild year again this year, but it still took me by surprise. Would you like to know more?
Sign of the times.
These are up all over Amsterdam at the moment as a warning to tourists that 12 people are in hospital and 3 people have died from mistaking white heroin for cocaine, and asking people to not trust street dealers.
The Amsterdam Light Festival is always such an amazing collaboration of artistic and technological endeavour.
So many artist vie to contribute each year, each with a message to convey, and a cause to bring to the attention of the masses. Would you like to know more?
