The Rijksmuseum is perhaps one of my favorite buildings in the world. In it, is an amazing collection of all things Dutch history dating back 800 years. Including a biplane!
Outside, it’s a beautiful piece of architecture finished in 1885. With a sprawling plaza called the Musemplein it’s a wonderful place to casually stroll and relax.
Under it, is a cycle path that thousands of people travel daily on their bikes as a part of the Dutch government’s plan to get people outside to live happier and healthier lives saving billions in healthcare annually
Unlike Nigel Powers, I happen to really like the Dutch.
Travel Dreaming
I really miss travel. The views, the smells, the jet lag, the food, the uncertainty, the adventure. All of it, good & bad.
This was the scene waking up one gorgeous fall morning on Lake Tekapo, New Zealand. We had slept well in our tiny camper van through the cool night and were glad to see the clouds had parted for this scene to come together. With fresh snow on the mountains and a crisp morning we were ready for another day of adventure.
This has certainly been a challenging year for travel, but we’ll be back. For now hoping you & yours are safe and well. Where would you escape to if you could right now?
Evening Commute Budapest
A recent visit to Budapest did not disappoint. Two trams pass by on the evening commute over the Szabadság Bridge.
Maroon Bells
The oft-photographed but totally worth-the-view Maroon Bells outside of Aspen, Colorado.
