[Leica] IMG: Amsterdam

[imra at iol.ie (Douglas Barry)]

You've put a great show on for us poor souls confined to our own 
countries because of plague concerns, Nathan.

In my case, as soon as we get our boosters, and my more vulnerable wife 
has her travel worries eased, we're heading away and Amsterdam seems a 
good city break for four days - flat, yet interesting. My sole visit 
there was a four hour stop over at Schipol, and I nearly gave myself a 
heart attack trying to get back to the airport after a too brief wander 
around the city centre. I was fit then and it was before the post 9/11 
security intensification. God knows how I'd cope now.

I particularly like Jan Veth's portrait of his sisters. It's really 
quite a marvellous painting and would grace the wall of my living room 
quite well. I'd also rather like the Van Gogh self portrait too. Must 
keep buying those lotto tickets.

The Dutch government should throw a few euro your way for your excellent 
encouragement of tourism to the Netherlands.
