Storefront


Even their security shades have fun art!

Sanctioned grafiti


Livens up the place.

Letters in the pavement

This is one of several. I should have written down what they spelled or meant.

Pretty writing




More signage


Love that S in Music

His planned community failed.

A chair only he could create . . .


None of the buildings on the grounds of the cathedral or what you'd normally expect

Such an interesting ceiling

More fashion shots


Sally and Hannah posing with their selections.

The "boys" posing for the camera


De Zwaan provides an assortment of reading glasses, so the guys picked out their favorites.

Niro and Jaap


Jaap is trying on the glasses at De Zwaan--one of our favorite restaurants, when we feel like driving. It's in Katwijk, just this side of the sand berm from the North Sea.

Old Rijn


The street is one of my favorite night views in Leiden.

More store signage


Love that Legende lettering

Jouets Brillants

Another fun sign

Cafe sign


We had lunch in this cafe. I think the sign pulled us in.

A view from Notre Dam

A view from one side

Notre Dame



If you enlarge this, you'll see a cute gargoyle, right in the center.

The other side of the river


I wonder what this looked like when it was brand new.

Paris, overlooking the Seine


This time, we bought a subway pass. We still did a LOT of walking, though.

Fun signage in a Paris store



Another view . . .

A little rough on the North Sea

This is the North Sea at Katwijk--we sometime ride our bicycles here for dinner. Not too far from Leiden
