Oooooo Utrecht!

“Jobs fill your pocket. Adventures fill your soul.” Jaimie Lyn Beatty

On our bike ride out to Breukelen we saw gorgeous pear orchards. When the Dutch settled New Amsterdam (New York City) they named part of it Brooklyn.
Family fun!
Just like home – a flea market.
When you only pack carry on luggage the temptation to buy things is just about non existent.
The “end of summer” block party.
When I took this pic I thought the house boat looked scary but now it just looks quirky!
That evening this was the restaurant we decided on.
Chose an aassortment of dishes to share. We were not disappointed. So good!
In the town center of Utrecht many of the retail shops are on the street level, in old mansions. And down below, along the canal, is where many restaurants are located. Boats float by the candlelit scene.
Sunday morning the town felt entirely different. Quiet and serene.
At first I thought this was a sculpture, but in reality it was created by nature.
There’s some fun art around the city – like this flying saucer perched on a building.
Or this teapot atop a parking structure.
This long colourful (nod to Nathan & Alison) building is where our hotel was located.
Being a golfer, Murph just had to step off the long hallway on the way to our room – 146 yards – a 6 iron for him. (a nod to Roy, John, Casey, Brittany, Dan, Laurie and anyone else out there that “get” this) More like a driver for me 😊
