June 13, 2016 – Emerson’s Birthday!

My son Emerson David Malone turns 23 today! This is the first time I’ve ever been this far away from him on his birthday, but I’m thinking of him. Time does fly…

This day I plan to go see the Mauritshuis  and the M.C. Escher museums. Also get to the Scheveningen beach. The painting by Fabritius…”The Goldfinch” is there at the Mauritshuis.

Also saw “The Girl with the Pearl Earring” by Vermeer today.
Enjoyed  a healthy breakfast. Dry Dutch toast is so good, along with muesli cereal.
Very rich in grains and raisins and nuts…Swiss…I ate it as a kid in Michigan. This a international city of people trying to make the world a more peaceful and  just place. Love it…Stay tune for more details of my adventures…later.

Had a very Dutch meal of Pickled Herring with Pickles and Onions last night.
