On our second day in Amsterdam we started off our day with a late breakfast at Kofi-T. Huge "Americano" coffees and cheese sandwiches accompanied by bike watching.
Nomnomnom
Bike watching on Ferdinand Bolstraat
I haven't been able to wear anything but sneakers and loose fitting clothes since my bike accident, which sucks but I liked this slouchy look. Toast UK skirt, Everlane tee, Vans, my denim jacket from 2001 and Fjallraven backpack.
My #1 reason for the trip, the Rijksmuseum!
It was wonderful inside, we saw The Night Watch by Rembrandt and my two favorite paintings by Vermeer: The Milkmaid and The Love Letter. I love paintings of bright morning light filtering through windows.
After the museum we were wandering around in a haze past the the Museumplein when Rich started waving. I thought he was saying hi to the pigeons (he does that) but it turned out to be Brianna and Chris picnicking on a hill. It was their last day in town so we tagged along on a canal tour with them.
Smooch!
We cruised around the canals of Amsterdam people watching.
Hi Brianna!
Captain Dog
Watching the sunset and moms on bikes with their babies
Passed a really fun looking bar...
And tilting buildings.
Afterwards we went for pancakes and coffee and made our way back to De Pijp for beers at Troost.
Proost!

I haven't been to Amsterdam yet, shame on me. Did you ever get lost or the map helps? I mean, there are so many canals that look the same, isn't it a bit confusing? Anyway, I still think it must be a romantic, beautiful place :)

ReplyDeleteoh my GODDESS you are adorable.
ReplyDeleteAhh I've been wanting to return to this city for a while now (I went with my parents for a wk when I was a teenager) and now the desire to return is even stronger. Such beautiful pics as always and how awesome that you were able to overlap with Chris & Brianna's trip!!
ReplyDeleteSo I'm like...blogging again. Haha. I cannot wait to go back, and this time without a limp so that I can bike around the countryside a bit. MAYBBBEEEE we can make those trips overlap ;)
DeleteLovely blogg!
ReplyDeleteahhhh! my husband and i always talk about "someday" visiting amsterdam! how fun!
ReplyDeleteYou should! It was so romantic but not overtly so. Just really cozy places to eat and drink, a lot of handholding on tiny streets, beautiful green parks. We avoided the touristy areas though, so it helped.
DeleteNice photos!
