The Low Countries

Market Square - Delft, Netherlands
 Lindsay and I decided to do a quick trip to the Low Countries with the Adams.  We visited Amsterdam, Delft, Brussels, and Bruges in a 4 day blitz tour.  Some of the highlights were visiting the Anne Frank House in Amsterdam, Climbing the medieval church tower in Delft (above), and feeling my hands go numb riding a bike over the cobblestone streets of Bruges.We also became intimately familiar with how to scramble your way onto a train and try and find a seat (which did not work out so well for us, never thought I would miss having a "reserved" seat on an Indian train).
