Forgot all about Holland....must get to that.  With this change from PC to Apple I have misplaced lots of pictures.

This is the exterior view of the train station. Like most hubs in any country, the trains arrive one right after another from all areas of the country and MASSES of people pour out of the station on their way to downtown. Our hotel was right on this road so there was ample people watching at any time of day, but of course Monday-Friday, while WE WERE ON VACATION!!!

Amsterdam

This is where M and I arrived - at the train station after landing at the airport. An all-nighter, groggy, but we will find the hotel and stay up all day to adapt to European time.
