Last day in Amsterdam

Today was last chance to see as many museums as possible: two! We got up early and had to wait in line for the Van Gogh Museum to open. Then saw many, many Van Gogh paintings. I spoke French almost the whole morning, getting a good grammar lesson from Nico!

Then we walked to the museum of colonialization the name of which I can't remember - Tourin? Something like that. Has an examination of all the countries the Dutch ever colonized (and oppressed and exploited). Some amazing displays.

Then a fabulous dinner of traditional Dutch food followed by an Oliballin (a ball of dough deepfried in oil) and mulled wine! Now home.
