I love how this was done, part of the architecture and all. The old-timey ad is for bleach and is on the corner of a mostly Turkish neighborhood where Caro lives.
This is the view from our favorite sun bathing/people watching cafe. It's quiet here but you can see below how quickly the tables fill up when the sun comes out.
And here's me enjoying a small but refreshing glass of sparkling iced tea. Mmmm.
This is more typical Dutch architecture, in Deftshaven where Caro lives.
Um, are the other shoes made with meat ?
I love this phone booth, probably because it's also old-timey.
Above the cafes are apartments, like where I live on zee Oostzeedijk.
Here's Caro as the streets start to fill up.
A little blurry, but you can see that the shops sell generic Freeway cola, orange soda in arabic, and Hero cassis soda. I think cassis means boysenberry.
UPDATE: rno says: I Just check your "Bethlehem Steel"... For me Cassis is black currant....
ah yes, ah yes, you're right.
I opt for white beer and the flies agree it's a good choice.
She wins the cleavage contest.
Arnaud getting sick of the damn camera.
But still has time to smooch Caro.
Naturally the hottest spot in any Dutch city is the frites stand.
I go hunting for the tubs of mayonnaise and find them. (They fucking drown 'em in that shit, I've seen 'em do it.)
April is tulip season in Holland and the sidewalk stands are stocked up.
Another cafe whose sign promotes Jenever which is a specially blended Dutch gin. All gin drinkers should try it at least once.
Another corner I like.
Here is the street now filled with Dutchies and bikes in the sunshine. On the left is Rotown where all the good shows are played.
So that's all the photoblogging for now.
I'm going to make some tea.
