amsterdam

now here a few days in the uber-tolerant dutch city, i’ve checked out a great museum (and bought a pass for museum viewing to my heart’s content), seen a play, almost all in dutch, had fine cheeses, yogurts, and heineken, rode the tram strolled through the market, painted and sanded plenty of door jambs, frequented a local turkish restaurant and almost gotten over a cold.

much more to see and do, but i imagine three months will seem like three weeks when flying back to the USA.

autos are especially interesting, all manner of scooters, cycles, micro minis, and sporty cars, even big-wheeled crane trucks zipping down the motorway…
saw a great vintage beemer cycle and plenty of new bmws as well gracing the sidewalks.
