After spending the morning wandering around alongside the canals in Amsterdam, Dave and I met up with Dana at the hotel, and the three of us tried to escape the rain showers by taking the street car to the Van Gogh Museum. The museum has quite a nice collection of Van Gogh’s art, including “The Potato Eaters” from his time in Nuenen in the Netherlands, and “The Bedroom at Arles”, “Vase with Sunflowers”, “The Yellow House”, and many others which he painted during his time in France. One thing that rather surprised me was that he spent only four years living in France. It was a rather prolific and a very torturous period in his life.
