owen in the garden

yesterday owen and i spent the afternoon at the flehite
museum which was ecclectic
to say the least--everything from an impressive jukebox collection to a barbed wire holocaust memorial. i really wanted to check out this massive wooden statue outside but when we left it was raining. so, this afternoon after going to the post we spend some time in this funny little garden. you can see the scale on the left next to owen. there's a sign that says paradise, i'm guessing, in dutch. so i assume this is a rendition of eve. owen was pretty impressed by what i think is her knee. and then he mostly pointed out the water hoses inside the little rose garden.
he was quite the little art model though, and his new thing is
to sit down and smile everytime i take a picture. you can see a little of the amersfoort landscape--a lot of cobblestone, muddy little river going around the city and very neat brick buildings. i think this is the closest i'll find to a park in the city but owen seems to make do. just need to make sure he doesn't get the desire to go swimming, as the steps just end at the water.

well tonight is shopping night--everything stays open past five so we'll go out and stroll and get some dinner. tomorrow we move rooms for a night and then switch inns on saturday. so the adventure continues. . .
