Seems especially well suited for Vermeer though.<br /><br />And you were right in "our" neighborhood! When we are on our home-exchange, we walk by that church every day on our way to our morning walk around the Jackie Onassis reservoir in Central Park. I'll bet it's not hot and humid right now though! I wonder if I could survive a month there this time of year?

I visited the museum you name a couple of trips. Chevalier thanks Simon Schama for her historical background info. If you want to know more about the history of the Netherlands, read his 'Embarrassment of Riches' … long and wonderful. Also, 'Tulip,' by Anna Pavord.

It sounds like it was a wonderful time. I myself love curry, the hotter the better.

But you were fortunate; I had to travel all the way to The Hague to see Vermeer's Lady with the Pearl Earring, often called The Mona Lisa of the North.
