Kelly Will Be So Proud of Me!

I got myself a museum card:

And WENT TO A MUSEUM!!! For those of you keeping track at home, that would be the first museum I've gone to since moving here. 7 months ago. In my defense, I'm expecting lots of visitors this summer (woohoo!), and figured I'd be doing a lot of the museums then. (Kelly is rolling her eyes as she reads this!)

So I spent a lovely Sunday afternoon at the  Stedelijk Museum of Modern Art.

A Dutch poem about poetry on the wall:

And its English translation:

  

A wall of posters from different shows at the museum:

I'm trying hard to be cultured, but sometimes I just don't get modern art. 

Bent pieces of metal scattered about a room: 

 I did enjoy this chair exhibit though:

And this fancy radiator:

Hmmmm.....

  The fluorescent lit main hall:

A double looping projector, which brought me back to my elementary school days:

There were lots of amazing black and white photographs, but this one was my favorite:

In honor of Rory Roo who was celebrating her 2nd birthday party :)

 I kind of like this museum thing. Maybe I'll even go to another :)

Moving Day, Dutch Style

This never ceases to amaze me:

Large Hook + Ropes = Dangerously Steep Staircase Avoidance

Only in Amsterdam

On sale at Blokker (which is a Dutch variation of Target, but way less awesome):

Yes kids, a pimp your bike kit.

Which will forever be remembered as the day that someone asked me for directions, and I was actually able to help them!

My First 'Dam Concert

 The Black Keys at Heineken Music Hall!

Weird hand art on the walls: 

 Lots of people packed in:

Everlasting Light. With a ginormous disco ball. Awesome. 

"You Were Missing Your Dog So I Made You A Puppet Show"

Ms. O and the kids (I think I'm the one in the purple shirt all the way on the left!)

Lucy the dog (not to be confused with Lucie, the girl in our class)

Scenery/Props:

KLM (Dutch Airline)

Hee hee! Schipol Airport :)

I really love my job!
