I was on a mission to find some of the beautiful Dutch architecture that I so love- in Rotterdam.  Though I live with artists, and I appreciate to modern architecture of Rotterdam- the entire city was, after all, completely decimated by the Nazis- I can't help but be a little nostalgic for the beautiful buildings that you see in cities such as Amsterdam and Haarlem.  So, I hopped on my bike to see what I could find!

Here are a few photos:

I looooove the black paint ... the light here is so beautiful that the black doesn't seem
too harsh!

And there I was, biking around, minding my own business, when BAM!  I came
upon Paul McCarthy's (in)famous sculpture!



I totally love this sculpture, by the way!!  Look how huge it is (see the people?)

No day of biking would be complete without a quic visit to the bloemenmarkt (Flower market!)
