It was a busy few days before Christmas. Shopping started in Haarlem on the 23rd. I really love the side streets in Haarlem. Nic this is the same street we had lunch in spring a few times and sat outside.
Since Vance's birdie episode I have been haunted. The Vishal is a Gallery in Haarlem. I usually like to duck in and see what is going on. I had to stop in to see the exhibit this time, due to it's content. Birds. 
The 24th found me in Amsterdam. I am a New Yorker, I actually like the hustle and bustle and it still isn't as manic as America. I only stopped to look in the window at Pompadour. I was on a mission.
Negen straatjes. Pecorino was on the list. I thought the window looked somewhat festive. If you stare long enough at this photo you get dizzy. well, I do.
Someone's bright idea.
A quick stop at L'Occitane. I was informed that they will start another store in Haarlem in March.
Dat was het weer, tot het volgende keer!
Zen was on holiday, as was Esquinja. Good for them, beat for me.
This is proudly displayed on the Heinekenplein tram stop sign. Merry Christmas!!
