I think "I Amsterdam"

Of course it was the wedding

Bringing us together

With Fabian and Karen

The best wedding ever!

 

Historic and surprising

In the old Lloyd Hotel

Pre-wedding preparations

For a boat ride so swell

 

Such patterns and colors

Bricks and concrete so define

The old Lloyd Hotel with

A more modern Dutch design

 

Our Indonesian dinner

That whirlwind tour by Tor

Through shopping streets-The Nines-while

Sharing his family lore

 

I stood in line for VanGogh

2 hours of rainy skies

All worth it for the time there

His story made me cry

 

Splendid gardens on display

Row upon row I gazed

A cacophony of TULIPS

The Keukenhof amazed!

 

We walked for miles & learned the trains

The week flashed by so fast

I wish that Rose and I took time

To take a yoga class

 

I'd like my morning coffee

Once more before we part

Finished off with Dutch detail

A great big creamy heart

 

Loving those calming canals

I might go on the lam

Escape from America

I think "I Amsterdam"

A love-letter to Amsterdam, inspired by giant letters spelling "I Amsterdam" outside the airport there.
