This morning we had the best breakfast at our hostel and for those of you who know me well... breakfast is my favorite meal besides dessert.  So, we started off a good day with a visit the the Van Gogh Museum.

The first floor were all paintings done by Vincent van Gogh throughout his career.  It was amazing to think that he wasn't a painter to start with and his brother Theo told him that he should try.  And now look at all the great works that the world gets to admire.  van Gogh decided to be an artist in 1880 at the age of 27.  Some of his most famous works were Wheatfield with crows and Starry Night
