A Saturday afternoon in Holland

The weather was quite nice on Saturday...and of course, every single table was occupied in all the cafes that we tried to visit...so we did what any thrifty dutchie would do, we bought beer from a grocery store b/c its cheaper...and we sat on the wharf along the Oude Gracht (canal) and drank some beers there. As three out of four of us are not native-dutchies, we could sit and joke about the Dutch...and had to watch out for them throwing trash and bottles in the canal, as apathetic dutchies often do. we were careful not to throw bottles at the canal tour boats sailing by. ;-) I would have enjoyed staying there all afternoon, but other obligations prevented this from happening, but for a good hour, it was quite an enjoyable time.
