The Netherlands - Utrecht (Chapter)

Don't underrate the petite province of Utrecht. Its famous namesake city – with its throngs of students, tree-lined canals and medieval quarter – deserves the limelight. . At the very least, Utrecht is an easy and evocative day trip from Amsterdam.

Coverage includes: Utrecht City, Loosdrechtse Plassen, Kasteel de Haar, Amersfoort, Doorn, Amerongen, Oudewater.

BLUE JEANS @ CENTRAAL MUSEUM

Tonight, I was invited to see the Blue Jeans exposition @ Centraal Museum, Utrecht. This beautiful displayed time travel trough jeans is put together by Joachim Baan & Pauline Broekman, daughter of the owner of Thom Broekman & De Rode Winkel. This year the Broekman stores celebrates it's 175 anniversary and dedicates it to denim. With some help from business partners they even got an 18 century painting on display called Master of the Blue Jeans, Woman begging with two children. (for more pics see Long John)
