An Afternoon in Amsterdam - Thursday, January 17
Before I went to see my brother's girlfriend Benthe on stage in Angels in America (a performance by Studententoneel Amsterdam) I did some quick shopping in the Big City. Here are some photos of sights I met along the way;)


View from the train as I near Amsterdam Central Station: cool graffiti and the actual windmill in the background.


Finally I'm able to see the front of the station without all the scaffolding that had been there in the past few years(!)


A "Seeperij" is a place where they make soaps. Front is now above an ATM. The "Vergulde Hant" (gilded hand) is still a brandname for shaving cream.


Front of old booksellers in three languages on Damrak. Now a clothing store.


The Palace on Damsquare, also free of scaffolding. Looking good!


Side entrance of the "Kalvertoren", a shopping mall.


Saw the moon, while waiting for the tram to my brother's appartment. Also saw two stars: I nearly bumped into Dutch actor-couple Daan Schuurmans & Bracha van Doesburgh. No pictures, but it did happen :)


Next morning, Hans walked me to the train. I'm going to The Hague!

>>Sleighing with Ruben!
