There really isn't a logical place to put this, but I guess it's as much a "MacGyver Story" as anything...
I recently got back from my vacation, cruising down the Rhine River (had a fabulous time, ate too much...). The cruise started in Amsterdam, and I had a couple of extra days to explore there, so one of the first stops was the Anne Frank house, to see if there was any possible way to get a ticket since the online tickets sell out instantly. The line for tickets was about four hours long and wrapped around the block, so my friend and I opted to try again another time, but as we were standing there in the square around the Westerkerk that the line wrapped around, I noticed a building with intriguing flower boxes:
I took a picture and sent it to RDA, explaining that I was standing in a long line for the Anne Frank house and that the line goes in front of this building. I think he was a little confused by my text at first, because he texted back, "That is NOT the Frank house, right? I pray not!!"
I wrote back to reassure him that it was just around the corner from the Anne Frank house, and that the line just meanders in front of it. He texted back, "Sigh of relief!"
LOL!
I asked a tour guide about it later, and she said she didn't know the story behind it, but that it has been that way for years. It seems it's some sort of production company (I don't know if they have permission to use the MacGyver name - clearly it is the same font and everything), but it looks just like someone's house from the outside. At first I thought it was just the home of one very enthusiastic fan.

It certainly wasn't something I was expecting to find on an outing in Amsterdam!
