The girls had a good time at the concert last. This morning after I did the laundry at the laundry mat, we met the girls and rode our bikes to a street book fair. It started to rain so we looked around in an indoors book shop, then when the sun came out we looked around the book fair. Jill has bought a total of 11 books this trip. She has advised us to keep her out of book shops from here on out.
We then had some lunch at Emily's favorite cafe here. I had a yummy meatloaf sandwich.
After that we went to return our bikes. Trying to dodge other bikes, mopeds, people and cars and trams and buses, not to mention it was windy and in the 50's and our butts hurt. Was too much for Jill and I. Emily is going to keep riding hers, it's her favorite part of Amsterdam.
Its raining again, We then went on a canal cruise. It was very relaxing to get off the streets and see Amsterdam by boat. The architecture here is so cool.
We then went to a record store and looked around. Robbie bought a Rush Album he doesn't have. Then we went had some snacks. Frites with frite sauce, and a croquet from febo. It is a store with just vending machine food. It was Em's place to go for a late night (drunken) snack. I wasn't a fan, but, I was sober :) Robbie got a croquet sandwich from McDonalds, we split a stroopwaffle Mcflurry, best Mcflurry I've ever had!
We went to the movies then to see Moonrise Kingdom, it was in English with Dutch subtitles. I fell asleep in the movies for a little bit. Walking and biking makes me need a nap!
Then we watched some street dancers in a square by the movies, they were really good.
We then headed over by Emily's house to get some dinner at a place she had been wanting to go. Everything was in Dutch , our very nice waitress translated everything for us.
We had fondue, I had a smoked chicken salad, Jill had cheesy mushrooms and Robbie had
Chorizo, everything was very good. Emily liked that the football match was on. Germany vs Greece. ( who is this kid?)
After that we headed to our place, Jill came with us tonight, Emily may go out with her friends tonight. Jill got to Skype with Jason and Ellie and tomorrow we have a Skype date with Abby and our dogs. That reminds me, they let dogs in restaurants here! They all seem so well behaved and just chill under the tables! We love it!
