July, 2001
Randy and I visited Amsterdam,
Edam, Wons, Marken, Volendam and a few places in between.
Edam was so charming with
its gables, tiny streets, church bells, and, of course, canals, that I
fell in love with it.
This historical town flourishes
while preserving its rich heritage. This is a brief glimpse into Edam.
Be Patient -- photos need time to load.
Before leaving Florida I had come across the De Fortuna Hotel online - the photo looked so lovely, I had to make a reservation. I made the right choice. It was better than I had hoped. I couldn't get enough of their beautiful grounds, and the artwork exhibited in the restaurant. We ended up staying three nights.
The beautiful De Fortuna
Hotel.

The garden behind the Hotel.
You can't imagine the variety of flowers back here.
The tables on the left overlook
the canal, always busy with wildlife.
