We’ve finally gotten into the swing of things! Maybe we’re becoming “Amsterdamers”! Mornings start a bit later – up at 8’ish, we all get together around 9am to start our walk to the days adventure. Breakfast is coffee and something light at a café along the way around 10am. Lunch is around 2pm – again at a café we find along the way and, rest in the late afternoon and then dinner at 8pm. Dinners tend to last a good 2-3 hours – I love that! We laugh, tell our stories and just have a good time! Eventually we remember that we have an early start tomorrow and make our way back along the narrow streets, happy and content with time spent with our friends. The sun finally came out this afternoon and now the late evening sky is just showing the last signs of dusk. It is absolutely beautiful! I love the summer time pace. Good weather does not come often here so people really take advantage it when it does; also this has been a particularly overcast summer. It’s after 11pm and the cafes show no signs of slowing down!
