Time to say goodbye to the Netherlands.  Was a rainy blustery day today, and dad wasn’t feeling much better, so we booked him to see a local doctor to get patched up.  A visit and antibiotics (with some other cold meds) was only $50, and he’s now on the mend.   I went to the Van Gogh Museum (which was closed last time we were here).  It was great, but they were very strict on pictures, and could only take them in front of the reproduction art in specially setup areas.

Afterward met up with Mom and we finished our last minute shopping, then enjoyed some beer and cider.  Went back and had some dinner at the apartment, then had to pack up for our flight the following day.

Now that all of our shopping is done, we’re thankful for the umbrellas and heaters at the pub, its cold and rainy today!
