Last day in Amsterdam
Our last day in Amsterdam, filled with pictures of boats and canals.
Patisseries and Chocolatiers of Amsterdam
I was holding out for the best pastries, and when I got to Holtkamp I stopped looking. I got sucked in the door by the meringues in the window, but it was the cakes that were really incredible.

Wedding Cake Toppers in Amsterdam
These wedding cake toppers are so unique. They are made by hand by Peter en Jeannette in Amsterdam. Some are for gay couples, some for a reluctant groom, and there is one of a pregnant bride that Jeannette had just finished that morning. (peter.dave@hotmail.com)
Touring the Markets and Canals of Amsterdam
Traveling by boat was the perfect way to get see Amsterdam, since there are so many canals. Later, we discovered new things in the market, like stroopwafel and halva, and lots and lots of cheese.
Preparing for an event at the Intercontinental Hotel in Amsterdam
We got a behind the scenes look at the staff of the Intercontinental Hotel preparing for an event. The hotel is really spectacular.

French haute Couture designer Cleone
CAMERA AND LENS DETAILS LISTED ON THIS BLOG POST IN THE RIGHT COLUMN While in Strasbourg, Tony and I stopped to admire the exquisite wedding dresses at the boutique shop of haute couture designer Cleone, and actually met the designer herself. The dresses are incredibly imaginative. I would love to be invited to a runway show for the next collection – I can’t wait to see what she will design next. [Strasbourg, France – October 2, 2013]
