Willemstad, Netherlands: Mauritshuis

For those who happen to be in Willemstad, a stop at the visitor center is a good idea. It's located on a well landscaped piece of landing that holds the Mauritshuis Museum. 

When we were there in August, though, something else caught our attention. A green river? So far from St. Patrick's Day? Yes. The green comes from algae, and it covers up all the water in the creek that goes by the building. It also could be found in other places around Mauritshuis. No, it doesn't look inviting for a quick dip.
