Netherlands: Amsterdam- Van Gogh and Banksy!

Van Gogh is my ABSOLUTE favorite artist. I love how I get lost in his vibrant colors, deep swirls of thick paint, and the feelings that his paintings evoke. So obviously, this meant that the Van Gogh Museum was an essential visit for me on this trip. I had been to Amsterdam in 2006 with Nora, and we visited this museum, but 11 years later it is a completely different place. A whole new building and everything; able to fit and display even more of his work! It is amazing!

After the Van Gogh Museum, we took a short walk to the Moco Museum where a Banksy exhibit was being showcased:

And then more random meandering across this canal-laden city of architectural wonder!

What I love about Amsterdam is that there are minimal cars, as everyone bikes everywhere. I wished that we lived somewhere like this...

And with that, our incredible trip comes to a close.
