Amsterdam

Amsterdam is in the Netherlands, which makes it sound very far away. Lots of people there speak English though...maybe better than they do in America! Can you spot me in this sign?


The famous painter Rembrandt lived in Amsterdam. They have a sculpture of him and one of his famous paintings in "Rembrandt Square."



Amsterdam is a city of great art. There was even a picture of one of my brethren in my hotel room. It made me feel right at home.


There are more canals in Amsterdam than in Venice. Who knew?! People there don't seem to really use them for transportation though. They just park their houseboats there. Everyone rides bikes to get from place to place.

Sweet Home Chicago

I realized that I have not posted any photos from my own hometown! So I went to Navy Pier to show off my great city. Navy Pier has a big old Ferris Wheel. Chicago was the site of the first one way back in the 1892 World's Fair.


Chicago has the best skyline around. There's no doubt about it.


Navy Pier has some of those fun-house mirrors. They can make you look very, um, svelte.
