Well you might guess from title that we finally let ourselves sleep in and had no formal plan for the day.We finally left the boat around noon and strolled over to an Italian restaurant with outside seating, heavenly pizza and great people watching. We hadn’t been to the Anne Frank house yet so decided to go to Dam Square which is fairly close.
Dam Square is huge, with the Queens Palace, and the National Gallery flanking two sides, the others hold Madame Touassants Wax Museum and multiple restaurants that all have outdoor seating facing the square.In the center if a beautiful and controversial statue (http://goamsterdam.about.com/od/amsterdamphotos/ig/Photos--WWII-Monuments/Photo--Dutch-National-Monument.htm) and people sit on the stairs watching the world go by. I know there is a spot in Paris or Rome and the saying is something like, “if you sit here long enough the whole world will pass bye”, the same could be said of Dam Square.
We had a tea for me and a jar for the men and continued our trek through the city. Canals with boats, people on bikes, shoppers, children, families, communicating in every verbal and non verbal interpersonal way humans do. So beautiful!
Close to our boat we hit a grocer, Albert Hein again, (love him), and picked up the fixings for spaghetti and meat sauce. I know some of you are aghast with surprise…made dinner, watched TV and chilled. Tomorrow, (6:00 a.m.) flight to LIVERPOOL!
