Tempest in a Teapot

I had a really nice weekend in Amsterdam. We stayed at the totally adorable New Amsterdam Hotel – which I would recommend to anyone. The guy at the desk said they planned on renovating with new flat screent TVs soon, which would open up more space. The rooms, like in most of Europe, were fairly small. But we three gals shared a room with a fold out couch and managed just fine.

The weather was wondeful – sunny and fairly warm during the day. I could hardly believe all the tulips out for sale, but then I remembered Amsterdam is surrounded by greenhouses. When you come into land over the city you can see them glowing in these huge blocks of light. Kind of makes me think of the XFiles movie.

I have to tell you as our final year of life in Europe winds up, it’s been a disappointment to me that no one outside my immediate family has come to visit. I know it’s expensive, but it would have been so nice to have a trip with friends. *sigh* Even Erica seems to be bailing on our April trip to Prague due to turmoil at her work. I understand, it just bums me out. Oh well, just a little pity party for me – pay no mind.
