The priest underlined the hour that the birth was reported and then made a note at the bottom of the record. I could not read the beginning and end of this note, but the middle word was “underline”. Whatever the note says, it apparently explains why the hour the birth was reported is underlined in the record.

The houses in Amsterdam are built on pilings and, because the piling settle, the houses shift with time. As a result, all the older buildings are a bit crooked. How the windows and doors in some of these houses can continue to operate in the crooked walls is beyond me. The Sint Nicolaaskerk is a Roman Catholic church in Amsterdam, built in Neo-Baroque and Neo-Renaissance styles. At the front of the church are two neo-Baroque towers with a rose window between them. The Hotel Di-Ann is an impressive structure composed of five buildings between the Herengracht and Keizersgracht canals.

And so, my European vacation came to an end. I walked the short distance from my hotel to the train station, took the train to the airport and headed back to San Francisco.
