I walked more yesterday than I have in weeks! And nearly as much today!

Thanks to CDR and CC, we had a wooden boat tour with lunch aboard today that was heaven! Made me wish my head was on a swivel and that my eyes didn't have to waste precious time blinking!

We visited the Van Gogh museum after the ride and enjoyed the commentary, the paintings by others -- both those who influenced him and those on whom he was an influence. And then, of course, his paintings, which were so ground-breaking and influential that they hardly seem out of the ordinary now. The colors were remarkable in the way he used them to balance the work.

This is my first blog. Not sure if I'll get to edit it later...we'll see!
