On Saturday the 2nd of Jan. 2010 we toured into my beautiful Amsterdam with Mrs. Ingrid Brown and friends. We started from Boogaardsbnb in de Langestraat for our tour, walked to the "Herengracht" with the house of the Trip famaly from which Rembrandt painted a protrait of there daughter Maria Trip to been seen now in the Rijksmuseum together with the Nightwatch the most famous painting Rembrands where we stood in front of his hous on another Amsterdam canal called "Singel". You can click on the name of paintings hereabove of you did not manage to go the this museum.

We visited  the New Church where beause of the exhabition we could not see the Choir fence (before this our prince of Orange has to swear on the Dutch constitution if he want to become King of the Netherlands) on the Dam square, the hart of Amsterdam.

This is behind the Royal Palace, the former Town Hall of Amsterdam which I will show you next time you are in Amsterdam. Below my Happy New Year card made inside "my most beatifull building in the world"
