The sunset from our host's living room.
Today we said goodbye to Maaike, our second host here in amsterdam, and returned to Harm and Tiphaine's place (our first host). Yesterday was Sinterklaas and they celebrated it with lots and lots of yummy food. Trevor and I went out to a silly chinese restaurant and got some fried rice and tea and chatted about the rest of our plans. Maaike was sleeping when we got back around dinner time and we cooked her a nice veggie chili and tortia dish for the holiday!
We've really enjoyed exploring the city though! There's lots of little ally ways lined with shops full of all sorts of things and unique cafés that are set up like living rooms. It's so great to get out on our bikes and go with or without a map and let the city take us where it may. Trevor bargained with on shop owner and got me an early Christmas present. I have yet to go hunting for his yet!
It's a simple maual 35mm. I think it'll be nice to take some 'real' photos while we're out and about; to show the city in an artistic way, rather than just clicking the digital thing all day.
Anyway, we're missing home and everyone during the holidays. Christmas is coming up and it would be nice to sleep in our cozy beds and wait for the snow during this time of year. We miss our animals too! Parents give them treats for us!
Cheers!
