This is from a city named Utrecht, in The Netherlands.

We visited 2 museums that day...one, my fav (I collect music boxes), is the music box museum "MUSEUM SPEELKLOK". It is housed in an old church, complete with the church organ and many beautiful dance organs. The other museum, the train museum "SPOORWEG MUSEUM", is the one in the picture. These are both magnificent museums, and I will visit them often. The train museum even has the private cars (full sized) that used to carry the queen and other royals around in the days of rail travel... The building, itself, is the old railway station...and it is beautiful inside...completely restored!

It was a rainy day, so we were in a bit of a hurry. So, as we turned to walk up to the museum, we heard a plop! plop! sound repeatedly. Here, walking toward us, was a huge swan...acting as if he did this every day (probably does..lol). Their wingspan is about 5 feet, and they are birds with an ATTITUDE! So, we stood still and let him pass. We then watched as he crossed the street, in the crosswalk (no kidding!), stopping to look both ways before entering the street!!!!

We were in awe, and chuckling, at the same time!

Dutch hugs, Kathi
