Attempting Amsterdam, Better Belgium

Hi jerry, I attempted amsterdam saturday afternoon with alex. Needless to say it didnt go over that well, with him or me, for different reasons. Still I thought you might like to see Tjins is still busy as ever, as is our little cafe. I walked past it a half hour before and couldnt find a place to sit so we had to have a cup of joe on the corner. Krull, the place we never sat at but always wondered. Wonder no more, it was dirty and clueless.
Some paper out there just named Amsterdam the hippest city?! (it was either the ny times or de telegraph) tee hee

The weather is still warm enough for ijs! that says a lot here. Usually they are packed up and headed south by now. Again I thought you might like to know that scarves are alive and well in Holland, even in warm weather.

The Frood. Fruit is food too! I guess thats a new discovery...

So why not try our luck in Belgium. This is the following day. brilliant weather and the city was open. Antwerp proved to be a lovely day out. However we werent the only ones out and every seat on a terrace was taken. Nevertheless, facilities were needed so we decided to stop into this lovely gem. It was tiny but cool. we drank a Rodenbach, yummyo, and headed out into the sunlight.

I dont know what happened in this city but the statue is holding up a severed hand! Openly brutal, the Belgians.

Luckily the Virgin Mary is around just about every corner. Now I know why!
