Market day! Off to the Saturday market on the next block.....maybe need some vegys, bread, maybe some squid or octopus!
Next, cappuccinos of course, at our new favorite corner coffee shop, Moods (sorry, no weed). Actually coffee shops that sell marijuana are principally in central Amsterdam where all the tourists are. Here in Jordaan, as this neighborhood is called, are the "real" coffee shops and bars that cater to the locals. The owner of Moods is from Romania. He came to Amsterdam for the freedom and opportunity, which I guess is in short supply in Romania.....
In the afternoon we hike out to Rembrandt Park, alas probably our final wandering around Amsterdam since tomorrow (Sunday) will be packing day, and its probably going to rain anyway.
Rembrandt Park reminds of us Central Park in NYC, and is yet another of the many exceptional parks in and around Amsterdam.

ReplyDeleteSo, Holland owned western NY including Batavia? That is some heavy and far-out historical precedence! It follows that all coffee shops in the region provide weed for their customers. We could start a chain, Holland Land Coffee Shops!
DeleteSince we have a connection to Amsterdam, perhaps we should introduce weed to our coffee shops!!
