I dashed out during a break and bought several packages of delicious stroopwafels from a grocery store to bring home. (They are what my kids wanted me to buy for them.)
It was my first time to visit Amstersdam and I took a ton of pictures. Here is a brief photo tour.
A canal, with a view of boats, bikes, and townhouses.
This photo is taken from a bridge.
Construction project on a canal.
A bike and a door.
This type of bike, with a carrier in front, is common.
Wall mural--mosaic tile combined with bas-relief painted figures.
Modern wall mural
Entrance to a mall.
Note the old archway entrance with statues on top.
Dam Square and a mime.
About six mimes were performing the day I walked through this square.
Lamp post--detail of metalwork.
The city lamps use gas to make the light, so they give a cool glow.
(The actual light bulb isn't in this photo, but I am most fascinated by the details here.)
A canal at night. I like this photo, because it shows the intersection of one canal into the canal that runs to the left and right of this photo.
