My Amsterdam

Amsterdam was Amsterdam. We visited the beautiful parks, Vondelpark and Rembrandtpark, and strolled through the streets of tall, skinny, leaning houses. We took a tour on a canal boat and visited the flower market as well.

We had yummy open-faced sandwiches with spicy flavors from the previous Dutch colonies like Suriname and Indonesia.

But the whole time we were in Amsterdam, I was thinking of one thing: a local Minneapolis hit from the mid 90s.

One bonus is that now the singer, Jim Ruiz, is our local head librarian at the Southeast branch of the Hennepin County libraries.

And now, we are in Madrid, enjoying our last day of Spanish sun and wondering exactly what to do with ourselves. It’s a strange day indeed.
