Pictures from Arnhem

We picked Claudia up at the Amsterdam airport and headed to Arnhem.  We planned to meet Claudia's friend, Keith, tonight for dinner.  Somewhere along the way, we stopped for gas and bought a map of Arnhem.  The nice young man at the gas station told us we were just in time to see the re-creation of the Allied parachute drop (from the book and movie "A Bridge too Far").  So, we followed his directions and, voila, we were smack in the middle of the whole thing.  I called Keith on his cell phone and he was about 200 yards away from us.  Unbelievable, especially when you see the pictures and realize how many people were there.  We stayed for a while, but Claudia needed to get some sleep before we head out to dinner, so we left and found our hotel.  More later.
