Recently, we caught up with our good friends Diana and Jose for a weekend in Amsterdam. We’d love to tell you all about it, but unfortunately… we don’t remember anything!! JUST KIDDING!
We had a great time walking around the city and touring the museums. The canals around the city are lit up at nighttime creating a Paris-like feel. Everyone is friendly, and it’s true what they say, bicycles are everywhere!
Special thanks to Jose who did quite a bit of research prior to the trip and kept us well fed. We dined at Restaurant De Kas, which is contained in a greenhouse and grows it’s own food; Lof, where the chefs go to market every day and create the menu from what they mind; and Wynand Fockink which opened in 1679 and make Jenever (purportedly the precursor to gin) using original techniques.
Perhaps our favorite eating experience? A picnic of wine and cheese we had in a local park.
