Busby’s Favorite Part of Christmas
In Amsterdam, the city sets up signs on street corners or people to leave their Christmas trees. Busby likes to pee on all I them.

The Lights of Sinterklaas and Christmas in Amsterdam
Sinterklaas is a Dutch thing; basically a person symbolising a holiday on Dec 5&6 that goes by the same name. Before that holiday starts, the canals get some light artwork as part of the Amsterdam Light Festival. At the same time, some Christmas lights start going up, although I’ve been told that most Dutch people won’t put up a Christmas tree or decorations until after the Sinterklaas day of December 6.
So, Piper and I have captured a variety of lights in Amsterdam seen in early December.














Still no buffalo
This is the hike we’re we should run across buffaloes, but we still haven’t seen any.

Dog fun at Duinlandschap Zandvoort
There is an off leash dog area in the sand dunes at the south end of Zandvoort called Duinlandschap Zandvoort. This was our first time there and the dogs loved it.
Poor Bike Parking
I assume this bike owner will reconsider parking on this corner with the front tire in the street.

Poodles of Amsterdam
It’s been a while since they dogs have had their photos shares, so…


Zandvoort Beach Weekend
Eight of us met up at the beach and setup for a day of hanging out and swimming in the North Sea. Then a BBQ dinner on a friend’s roof too deck. We spent the night there and enjoyed some fish & chips for brunch on the sunny deck too. The orange vest was a free gift someone brought for fun; nobody really wanted it though.
