Saturday in Amsterdam












The conference ended yesterday, so I had a nice day of walking around Amsterdam today. The hotel is near the Flower Market, so I'd walked by that several times, but they seem to bring out nicer flowers for the weekend! I also stopped in a cheese shop which had samples of cheese and mustard -- yum!

I wandered around an outdoor market (Waterlooplein) which had everything from gas masks to clothes to hats to voodoo dolls. After that, I considered going a a museum, but my feet were getting tired, so I took a canal boat ride instead. And then for dinner a colleague and I went out for yummy Indonesian food (the "rice table").

So, all in all, a lovely day!  I'm looking forward to getting back home to the boys tomorrow.
