Last Christmas Lights

Street photos from our last night in Amsterdam.

Uruguay Steak

On our last night in Amsterdam, we went to a Uruguayo steakhouse to eat. I miss it all! The food and company were awesome.

Full

One way for a restaurant to tell you there's no seating available...

Under The Water

Seals under the water.

I Saw A Sign

Saying what to do in case of animal attack or getting into an enclosure... in picures.

More Of The Zoo

Several mechanical bits around the zoo, plus some animals. Andreas liked the wolves.

Red Pandas

What other reason do you need to go to the zoo?

On The Way To The Zoo

We all went to the zoo, and here are some photos from our walk to it from the tram. Pretty canals. Cloudy day.

Swan Scene

Ducks and swans on the canal in Amsterdam. Pretty day, too.

More Amsterdam Lights

After our pizza dinner, we walked through a lot of Amsterdam, seeing more lights and water in the dark. Also found a Uruguayo restaurant.

Amsterdam Lights

The main train station by night, along with Christmas lights along some alleys.

Dinner Out Alone

Andreas and I went out for dinner and found a pizza place near the Rijksmuseum. The food was pretty good; waiter's attitude wasn't. We did get cider, though. We wandered the area looking at Christmas lights afterwards.

Amsterdam Christmas Lights

Some street lights in Amsterdam. Looked prettier in person.

Family Reunion

Our adopted Marine was posted in The Hague while we were in Amsterdam, so he rode the pancake boat with us! We hope to catch up with him again while we're in the US for home leave in November.

Amsterdam Graffiti

There was a graffiti park near the ferry's dock. We explored it while waiting to cross the bay to home.

Pancake Boat Dessert

What's a cruise without dessert? Lots of ice cream, crisp cookies, and toppings were enjoyed by all.

Views On The Bay

Andreas took these photos from the window of the pancake boat. I love  the industrial feel to everything. The day was overcast and chilly, but didn't rain.
