The street light is straight.  The little 5 foot wide house directly behind the light is the smallest house in Amsterdam, only 2 floors and only 5 feet wide.  Mostly photos of Amsterdam-- Dennis's photo of me taking a photo of "the dancing sisters".  The end houses look to be leaning toward the open alleys.  These homes have been here for many years but a good many of them are very tipsy. A canal route in Amsterdam Weesperbuurt-Amsterdam A very moving memorial of names Jewish, Senti and Roma who had not been given a proper burial during and after World War II.  There are 102,000 names.  This photo doesn't do it justice.

 Hello friends and family.  As you all know Dennis and I have been riding through the Netherlands and Belgium.  I didn't have my computer but I took lots of photos.  So the next few posts will just be photos of our daily rides with subtitles.  Hope you enjoy them and thanks for following our travels.
