Around Amsterdam

I did some walking around Amsterdam after the museum. It’s such a unique city.

A beautiful canal.
I used to collect little houses like this.
The beautiful interior of the Rijksmuseum.
Cheese for tourists.
I had some famous Amsterdam pea soup. It was very good.
They have crepes that are thicker than those in France. I got one with Nutella on it. It was too rich for me to finish but very good. The guy next to me had M&Ms added to his. There were huge waffles all over the place too, and pancakes.

Market Day

One of the really nice markets in Paris is the President Wilson market. It’s a bit more upscale than some.

There is a statue of George Washington at one end.
Christmas wreaths and flowers have arrived.
Scallop season has arrived.
Food to go.
Cheese decorated for the World Cup Soccer games.
Fog descended and covered the top of the Eiffel Tower.

Tokyo Eating

I wish I liked sushi because here I was in the heart of sushi makers. I love seafood but I like it cooked and if it tastes too fishy-if you know what I mean-I don’t like it so I was hoping to have a lot of food I was familiar with such as tempura and gyoza.

This was one place we went in. The neighborhood around our hotel was loaded with little places to choose from. I wasn’t wild about the food here but I liked the interior. By the way, we had to take our shoes off to enter.

A look at the interior from my seat.
A little private room near my seat. Maurice and I also tried a Mcdonalds but didn’t like our hamburgers very much. The buns were brioche like and the fries were limp. There was a Hooters next to our hotel that we ate at one night. I think the menu was the same as what you would find in the States. I had chicken tenders served by a pretty girl in a tshirt and short shorts. I also saw a Taco Bell but decided not to eat there.

Food

Photos all having something to do with food. Sometimes it just happens that way.

I’ve probably posted a photo of this little grocery store a dozen times. I just like it.

Pastries!
Mostly herbs, I think.
Sea urchins which people actually eat. They aren’t usually this colorful. These sort of look like flowers.
Olives for sale at our local street market.
Finally, on February 2nd Maurice made crepes. February 2nd is a religious holiday of sorts and there are many opinions in how it started but it is fun to get out the nonstick pans and toss a crepe and then eat one with butter and sugar.
