with a trip on the Eurostar to Amsterdam. This has been on the tour list and it didn't disappoint. Of course, with
temperatures hovering around zero, we spent most of our time bundled up in our ski gear. We did have a really cool apartment that was just around the corner from the canal shown in this first picture. What was really cool were the boat houses. A tour guide told us there were over 2000 all around the city but they have stopped issuing permits so what you see is what you get. As we made our way around town, we were walking past this supermarket. The shelves were slightly interesting; and then we saw the cat. And yes, the box was labelled cat. And in case you are asking, of course Maggie wanted to buy it and bring it home.
No trip is complete with out a visit to the local Hard Rock Cafe, overlooking one of the canals. This one had some particularly nice mementos handing on the wall. When you think about it, I suspect a great number of 
rock stars like to visit Amsterdam. Favorite things to do where the canal boat tour (mainly because it was warm) and the whole family really 
liked the tour of the Anne Frank hiding place. This last picture is just the reminder that Vivian likes anything purple. Here is a back canal with a purple set of flats and it just had to become a Kodak moment.

The Netherlands and Belgium are famous for their pancakes/crepes. We enjoyed the Belle Helene, which was pancakes with pears and chocolate while the boys ordered the Josselyn, bananas and chocolate. Maggie chose mint pancakes with whipped cream that were green!
