Bucket list...

Got up this morning, went to breakfast... what a joke.  A piece of bread and water.  No OJ, no eggs, faaagetaboutit.  Took the shuttle to Schipol, then the train to Den Haag (The Hague).  There I walked to Mauritshuis (pronounced Moritz House) Museum to see the Vermeer painting "The Girl with the Pearl Earring".  I was not disappointed.  It's something I've always wanted to see... what a feast.

When Vermeer painted this, it was not considered all that great.  It originally sold for 2 guilders and 30 cents.  Only later did it become famous... Vermeer's Mona List.  
Anyway, it was quite a thrill to stand a foot from it and study it... the museum opened at 10:00 to say 75 people.
