🎈thank you Patti for this intimate and poetic description of your visit to the Vermeer exhibition. No doubt the cost of this exhibit was far great than Vermeer's life-time income. Your description of some paintings brought them to life for me - but I think what I liked best in your report - and which I can identify most with is : "
Beautiful. Enjoy Amsterdam. I tried to get tickets to the exhibit, but sadly they are sold out. There is a wonderful online tour narrated by Stephen Fry.

Thanks for the photos, Patti.
