Floralia is where we saw more people walking around than any else on our Amsterdam trip. \u00a0We even stopped to have our picture taken \"20160427_Floralia_Joan_and_Stu_0001\"<\/a>by another passing tourist.<\/p>\n

The flowers were everywhere, every kind since Floralia is a retail flower market that shows off the best of Amsterdam, frequently arranged as they suggest you do in your own home.<\/p>\n

Little cabin in the woods
\nLittle man by the window stood
\nSaw a rabbit hopping by
\nKnocking at his door
\n(Frightened as can be)<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Help me, help me, Sir,” he said
\nOr the hunter will shoot me dead”
\n“Little rabbit, come inside,
\nSafely to abide.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is likely the folk song I sung my kids as they were learning to talk. \u00a0It fits the cabin of my dreams perfectly:<\/p>\n

\n\"DSC08139\"<\/a>Mowing in Amsterdam takes on a distinctly high technology look. The IMow robotic mower is available in countries from Albania to the Ukraine including Russia, Israel but, unfortunately not the United States. \u00a0Slick machine to quietly keep your grass trimmed (not the kind you smoke.)<\/p>\n
