DAY WHATEVER- Amsterdam, June 18th, 19th, 20th, 2014

Arrived Amsterdam Wednesday the 18th, getting closer to the "present", or "future". whichever. Below is our digs (door just behind bush on left). Note pile of garbage at corner on right. Seems there was a workers strike that ended just as we arrived. As we walked to our apartment from the train station, it looked somewhat like Times Square, trash everywhere.....better on Thursday.




Dam Square, some kind of palace, still trash......

Cow Store!


Blank wall- dangerously close to Red Light district. Prostitutes! Weed!


Students at canal; did I mention the canals? everywhere



leaning buildings


canals and bikes







uhoh, Hannah and Michael at Spinoza's statue, “The more clearly you understand yourself and your emotions, the more you become a lover of what is.” 


 Prof Taze!

Parking, no problem

Take a wee in the street urinal!

 A very large park reclaimed from a former gas facility
