OK, so Rembrandt could draw

Hello Travelers!
Saturday, May 21st

Loren:    Around the corner from the Flea Market is the Rembrandt House and Museum.  Unfortunately the House is not   accessible.  The excellent museum and restrooms are very accessible with many of Rembrandt's drawings and paintings at an easy to view level.  The museum is accessed by an elevator up 1/2 floor.
Dina and I went through the museum and then I took a quick tour through the house.  There are audio guides available in the basement where the tour starts.  After the Rembrandt, we returned to the Hostel by "foot" strolling along the canals and stopping for a lunch of Tostis and bier.  Tostis are a lunch staple in this area of Europe. They are basically a grilled cheese sandwich.

                                                                                    We found out that the Van Gogh Museum
is very near our hostel so we took a short walk over to check it out.  We made a plan to visit the next day.
We took a long nap (til 8:30!) and then strolled Amsterdam until midnight.  This is a fascinating town after dark with the canals lit up and bicycles and people everywhere.
