I Amsterdam

There were winters after 9/11 when Kelley and I wandered the streets of Amsterdam and wondered how restaurants empty of customers would survive?

That does not seem to be too much of an issue for 2015. Tourism is vibrant in Amsterdam this winter. The streets are filled with tourists on weekdays in February.

The tickets for the Rijksmuseum exhibit Rembrandt, the Later Years are selling out daily. Long lines wait outside the Concert Hall for daytime performances.

School kids hanging out on the ice rink at Museumplein asked me in comprehensibly well-spoken English to snap their photo.
