Day 57 March 21st 2009 Amsterdam, Netherlands

Up around 9am to grab some comp-breakfast and head over to the Vincent Van Gogh museum for a tour of amazing art. The theme was “Stars and Nighttime” with the main feature piece of course being “Starry Night” by Van Gogh. A free audio listener was included so Katie and I perused leisurely through the exhibits, getting the info on each one. I’m not much of an art guy but seeing the comparisons between all the works on the subject of night was really fascinating. Potato Eaters in particular captivated my attention for quite a while. Van Gogh tour completed, we decided we really wanted some straight American lunch food. Off to Hard Rock cafe it was. Overpriced, of course, but still hit the spot. Pulled pork sandwich for me and a big burger for Katie, plus two Heineken of course. Back to the hotel to watch German television and rest for a little bit. Dinner at the Satellite bar to watch ‘Nova basketball in the NCAA tourney.
