   The Streets of Amsterdam

   

View from our room at the Di Ann hotel.  This was rush hour; there is not a lot of auto traffic in Amsterdam.. 

  

  

  
One of the many, quaint side-streets.
   

Another narrow street.  Note the bicycles.

  

  

  
Ah, young love!  This is a example of Amsterdam.  This photo was taken from my seat at the outdoor cafe.
   

View behind our hotel.  All those narrow canal houses surround these haphazard sort of common gardens. 

  

   

  
A happy man.


Saturday, 31 May
     Once again I find myself traveling to exotic, foreign places and, once again, it doesn't seem like we went very far.  On the other hand, it certainly did take a long time.
     We started at 6:30 this AM from Horsham and arrived in Amsterdam around 5 PM.  This train was so slow through England but once we reach the Continent the speed picked up considerably.  The weather has been hot lately, but I see here it is a bit cloudy, which I regard as a good thing . . ."

Sunday, 1 June
I've been in Holland for one whole day now and what I've discovered is that the Dutch like their coffee in really tiny cups.
