When a friend turns 50
She throws herself a party, of course! This is how our friend, Pita, celebrated her 50th; she rented out part of this building in the heart of Amsterdam’s most popular, Vondelpark. It was filled with her friends, representing about 13 different nationalities.
Transport in Amsterdam
I used to strap a kayak to the roof of my car, and now I use those same straps to attach 10kg bags of dogfood to my bicycle.
The bike does feel a little wobbly with that much weight over the front tire, but otherwise rides nice.
Another day in Amsterdam
Of course, since it is a UNESCO World Heritage site, even a cloudy day is beautiful.
Amsterdam Light Festival
Tonight we rented a very nice covered and heated boat from 1910, now electric, and saw the Light Festival on the canals of Amsterdam. More info about that is at:

A few photos from my phone, which never look great at night:
Amsterdam skyline at night.
It’s a bit too flat to be overly impressive, but still nice.
