On The Move…

Edit: Click on this link if you want to know how I spent my One perfect day in Amsterdam to get some ideas of your own.

It’s true – Amsterdam is absolutely a must-go city.  I’ll tell you about it soon enough, or at least put up a few pictures with informative captions.

As I write this, the intense summer-day sunlight is giving way to a softer, bluer late-afternoon glow (it’s about 6pm), flooding the front room of Eric’s spacious apartment on the third floor of a charming canal-house.  Lovely.

I am so tired, mainly from walking, and awkwardly stretching to ride Eric’s bike (he’s considerably taller than I am) which has the disconcertingly different braking mechanism that seems standard here (to brake you backpedal).  I’m truly thankful I managed to get about without incident.

Oh, the walking!  The last five days have been filled with endless walking and standing in museums and chateaux, city centres and quiet neighborhoods.  Thank God for endorphins.

Glorious accomplished tiredness.  I shall go stretch out some of the stiffness in my legs and then perhaps I shall read a little.  Or nap.

Nap.
