The Netherlands: Amsterdam: Zuiderkerk Steeple

We're about to return to Canada, but we've got a least one more day to see the sights of Amsterdam. Man we love this city! The steeple in this postcard caught my eye. No wonder. This bell tower belongs to the Zuiderkerk or Southern Church. It was painted by Monet when he visited the city in 1874.

The Netherlands: Edam: Keizersgracht

We picked up our rental car at Schiphol, Amsterdam's Airport and managed - thanks to our car's GPS - to get out of the bustle of the city's traffic. Some time later we took a break at what all signs indicated was Edam. After a bit of driving and some considerable time searching for a parking spot we got out and walked about this cute little town. In our postcard, we're taking a look down the Keizersgracht.

Germany: Cologne: The Cathedral (der Dom)

Since the first postcard was an iconic statue, why not stay with the "iconic" theme. How about a postcard from Cologne.
