First trip to Amsterdam!!!!
Feels good right off the train.
A houseboat is never a bad thing…maybe.
Plenty of room inside, quite comfy
I’m not a beer person, but this one tasted good. Maybe the scenery is to blame.
The Skinny Bridge…courtesy of Diamonds are Forever…and Ted Lasso
Wasn’t sure about the tulip fields up front, but wow…
I wish my grass at home looked this good!!
I’m not sure what this musical instrument is called, but it was pumping out a nice Dutch version of ‘I’m So Excited’ by the Pointer Sisters.
The waffles…oh, the waffles
Everyone knows that the 1928 Olympics were here, right? (I knew that in 1975, because library…)
The stadium had some sort of construction work going on, so I couldn’t go in the trackside entrance, but I snapped a few good shots from the parking lot.
Walked around the perimeter, talked my way into an interior cubicle farm and got some close-ups of the track, then found an open rollup door for spectators…two flights of stairs and another open door, and I’m standing on the mezzanine level on the homestretch!
Now, for the important stuff…
The dough pressed probably 1/4” thin and cooked, then sliced BY HAND to half that thickness….that’s craftsmanship.
That’s also caramel, Oreo pieces, and whipped cream. I could do this more often.
Back to Ted Lasso…the S3 episode ‘Sunflowers’ was set here. One nice tribute was to trumpet impresario Chet Baker, who died here in the late 1980s after tempting gravity from this hotel window.
Life on a canal is something…
As this local would attest…
Multiple European countries are leading the league in Italian food.
Not sure what this bottle was, but I asked for a prescription.
Side trip to the coast, sort of.
Flemish stew will stick to your ribs, for sure
Things are getting good!!
