Maastricht, Netherlands - We arrived in Maastricht with a great sigh of relief.  For the first weekend, we relaxed inour temporary home: an apartment on Volksplein.  We found the apartment through a company specializing in furnished apartments for people who want an alternative to a hotel.  The apartment is beautifully furnished with fine art throughout.  Christopher decided that he liked this particular piece of art because it was easy to climb on and could withstand his art apreciation techiniques (patting it with his hands).
