Hello again! A few more points about Amsterdam I failed to mention in round 1:
-The Van Gogh Museum was amazing. It was quite interesting to see some of his work when he was just beginning, and also strange to think of Van Gogh as a beginner. Also interesting was how much his work changed throughout his career-his first paintings and last were not even recognizable as done by the same man...
So you DEFINITELY weren't allowed to take photos in the museum, but you know I just couldn't resist blossoming almonds...
Woops! Mwa ha ha.
Overall, Amsterdam was quite a beautiful city with a lot of unique qualities. If I ever make it back to Holland I'd definitely want to get out and see more of the countryside, though!
On to things Corrymeela-ish. There are currently several residential groups at Corrymeela, and thus hectic days for all. I washed more dishes today than I ever want to again. It's good to be back in Norn Iron and back amongst friends, and it's always comforting to feel a certain sense of "home" here.
Cheers,
Karen
