ranging in rusticity and style from rather bohemian (like the one at right)

| Despite the obvious tourist-oriented nature of this event,
we found the dinner cruise on the canals of Amsterdam an excellent way
to spend the evening and see the city. We also learned that white
wine takes out red wine stains...just ask Rory. |

| While Susan and I were doing our best to keep reeling
Steve back in, Rory was cruising around Holland in our oh-so-green F
Citroën, giving the French a bad name, and helping the socks in the
back of the mobile blanchisserie's windshield dry thoroughly. We
like DeBuyenkorf...or whatever the correct spelling may be. |
 |
| We did manage to spend a little time hanging out in and
strolling around Utrecht, even if only as a break city between Amsterdam
and Maastricht (well, Lanaken), our next destination. |
