Weather in Amsterdam is very changeable. We had an “Orange” warning for the day — 60 mile winds, rain, etc. When you’re given oranges, head to the museums!
We headed to the Hermitage Amsterdam for a fabulous tour of this special exhibit. What was even more fascinating, is that this huge, well constructed building was built in 1690 for poor old women. It was used for that purpose until just 50 years ago when it became a museum.
We braved the wind and headed here:

The Willet Holthuyssen House. A beautiful home that was left to the city in 1890. The garden was great!
Yes, there is a Museum of Bags and Bags and Purses.
And what Trip of ours would be complete with out some feline fancy.

Just an interesting collection of feline paraphernalia along with some cute cats. Yes, I sat and cuddled them.
We decided to go for high tea in a beautiful jewel box of a restaurant.

Chazy got a second wind when the weather dramatically improved and we approached Nine Streets, the shopping area.



I hope Grouper isn’t watching your blog! There will be a really jealous kitty when you get home.
