Woke up to a beautiful Fall morning and went on a canal cruise.
You can see the Elm trees lining the canal starting to turn yellow and drop their leaves.
Typical Amsterdam architecture.
Just a pretty shot.
A picture showing steel beams sticking out from the top of each residence. These beams were originally used by merchants to raise goods into or out of their business. But today the beams are still used to get heavy and bulky items into these homes - because the homes are so narrow and the stair cases are too steep to carry big items up the steps. (originally the home owner paid taxes based on the width of the front facade of the house - so they kept the front narrow and often had the back of the home flare out wider.)
Fall colors.
Then went for a walk in Vondel Park. Many people were out enjoying the nice weather on a Sunday afternoon.
A few more things to see tomorrow and then time to pack up and head home.
