In one day,
walking in Amsterdam,
you can find all sorts of unusual things.
In one day walking anywhere,
you can find remarkable things!
Just look and you’ll see.
Cheers to you,
from the unusual, the remarkable, the strange,
the beauty that is around you everyday!

We’re just getting nicely settled in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. It’s day 6 today so we’re starting to find our way around. We’ve rented a little casa for 5 months.

Oh how wonderful! I can’t wait to see your photos. My daughter and I were just talking about San Miguel and all the wonderful, artistically done houses because her friend was just there and I have a book on the houses in the living room called Casa Bohemia. We were talking about revisiting The Colonial Cities. I hope you visit Queretero and stop for lunch or dinner at La Casa de La Marquesa. It will bowl you over with beauty.

So true – if you open your eyes and really look, the world is a pretty marvelous place. Too many of us focus on what the evening news shows us rather than what’s available for us if we will just observe it.
LikeLike
Exactly! Turn off the evening news. It just makes you feel depressed and powerless. Make your own world and news, and you will feel happy and more powerful, and more able to take on our messed up world.

So thoughtful of you Charlotte. Amsterdam has some huge number of bikes, something over 60% of the population rides a bike daily, over 800,000 people. Switzerland and much of Europe is this way as you probably know better than I. Very impressive both for health, and for air quality. Happy weekend Charlotte and thanks for stopping by~
