Grandpa Charlie and Grandma Theresa visited Amsterdam in 1961 and stayed at the Hotel Suisse. They took a walk in Amsterdam with another couple. Theresa doesn't say anything more about her visit to Amsterdam in her travel diary.
After we finished our Rhine River Cruise in August, we also visited Amsterdam. Our first day in Amsterdam, we took a walk with another couple (my brother and his wife) and visited the flower market. In the evening, we enjoyed a dinner canal cruise, touring the canals of Amsterdam.
When my grandparents visited Amsterdam in 1961, they bought a ceramic windmill that played music for each of their sons' family. As a child, I remember ours sat on our TV in the living room. So, one of my objectives when I visited Amsterdam was to find and purchase a ceramic windmill to display in our home. I found the perfect one at Delft Blue. Now, every time, I look at it in our entertainment center, I think about my Grandparents and about our recent trip to Amsterdam Such great memories!
