Today we traveled to a sections of Baltimore Maryland where the police decided, unofficially, to stop enforcing drug laws to see if the crime rate would decrease.

No wait …. that’s a plot line from the HBO series The Wire.

Starting over.

Amsterdam

Today we left London and took 4 trains, including the Eurostar, through the channel tunnel to Amsterdam. On the way we passed through France, changed trains in Brussels, Belgium and finally got to the Netherlands. We are in a nice Renaissance hotel not far from the train station.

At the station in Brussels, Nancy saw a stranger wearing a New Jersey shirt and made some friends for life.

We had a good time walking around town and will be taking a trip to some windmills tomorrow. Cora asked why some houses were decorated with red lights. She thought they looked nice.

Just a bunch of pictures to follow because the computer I brought along is not cooperating and I’m having to type this in my phone.
