More Canals and Golden Light

Ok so in the last five years I really have had the most incredible good fortune to travel to some of the most amazing places, but surely Amsterdam in mid-spring takes some beating - certainly up there with chasing monkeys through the forests of Costa Rica, and art hunting in upstate New York! I remember sitting on a park bench on a quiet canal with the sun setting over the water and the good burghers of Amsterdam wandering about, thinking that all was well in my world with a beautiful wife and a baby on the way - just a perfect moment!
