Scenery

We went to a few museums today and took a round-about way to get there (we weren't lost ;) I snapped some photos while we were walking. I will add photos of the museums later.














(Musiktheater - a concert hall along the Amstel River. Large venue - lots of popular musicians.)


(The glass greenhouse in the center and in the next two photos is the Hortus Botanicus. Built in 1638, it is one of the oldest botanical gardens in the world. It has evolved from a medicinal herb garden for doctors and pharmactists to a pleasure garden. Rotating exhibits display plants from different areas of the world.






(The Hash, Marijuana and Hemp Museum is on the right and the Sensei Seed Bank is on the left).

(We have not visited this museum, but I am interested in their displays on the use of hemp plants as a less expensive and eco-friendly alternative to cotton.)


(A typical morning cheese delivery)
