We have arrived



Well here we are and it is about 10:30 at night and we haven't slept since Thursday night. I don't know what is keeping us going but we are starting to wind down. Our flight on KLM was great. The seats were not roomy but very acceptable. We actually got supper and breakfast. Free liquor and all the movies you could want on your own screen that you controlled and could start or stop with your own remote control. You could even make phone calls for a price. We got to Amsterdam and had a 3 1/2 hour layover and started to fade about then. We were back on the airplane with Air France and had a good flight which ended with my luggage not showing up. They were very prompt in attending to the eight of us and telling us to go spend 100 Euros to replace the items I couldn't live without and we were off to our apartment. Boy is rush hour awful here. Finally made it to our place and went out for a wonderful meal at a place around the corner. My luggage is coming in sometime tomorrow and I need to go shopping in the morning. to you later. Here are some pics of our neighbourhood, our view & our balcony.

Day one!

















Here we are at the airport waiting for our flight. We are standing in front of a Bill Reid sculpture.
I am practicing on Chris's computer not very good & I type with 2 fingers.
