Sunrise over Amsterdam
My seatmate raised the window shade an hour prior to touchdown this morning in Amsterdam and this is what we saw:
As we sunk into the clouds, the sun was beginning to illuminate the northern coast of Holland.
And then we got below the clouds. The city looked so young and fresh bathed in morning gold.
What a beautiful end to a sleepless night.
I have arrived safe in Switzerland. I adore it and I haven't even been here for 24 hours. The family, the house, the surroundings, all lovely. I'm beginning to think I've bitten off more than I can chew with the language barrier but I have a patient and understanding translator.
And jet lag is hitting me like a ton of bricks. Thanks for all the well wishes/thoughts/prayers. More later...
