Jordaan Pictures

These pictures were taken during our walk through the Jordaan area of Amsterdam yesterday.




A quiet Sunday morning on a side street in the Jordaan.



One of the many old bridges



The brown house boat is Te Koop! (for sale). Should we buy it?




Unlike other canal houses, these houses are directly along the canal without a sidewalk or street in between.







A typical tree-lined street with canal houses and houseboats in the Jordaan.




The houses in the Jordaan are known for their brightly colored shutters.







This enormous canal house has the royal crest (red with 3 black X's) on the gable.
