Lions and Tigers and Bears, oh my!

Well, not really. Bears, sure. But no lions or tigers. Just cows. A number of years ago Peg and I went to London (we were supposed to go on 9/12/2001. Guess how that went?) for a holiday. I think it was 2003, but, well, my memory… But when we got there CowParade London was going on. Fiberglas cows, well over 100 of them, were to be found all over the city, painted in frightfully imaginative color schemes. Sort of like the Berlin Bears (link above). But anyway, after the Antwerp trip, we headed back to Amsterdam and checked into the Hilton at Schiphol Airport, and two more cows were outside the Hilton. And there were others inside the airport as well, next to a cheese shop. It makes perfect sense! The Netherlands is a well-known cheese-making country in its own right. Here\’s a picture of a third cow, along with me:
