Monday was a boring day.  Just left the house for groceries for dinner.

Tuesday was cold for June.  Again, just left for groceries, this time for more of the week.

Wednesday and Thursday I took a walk to the zoo at lunch time to hang out in the park.  Enjoyed the weather before getting back to crappy work.

Thursday we ate at home, but then decided we wanted ice cream.  Kathryn found a place called “Metropolitan” in the red light district.  Good ice cream and desserts, not so great a location.

Friday, Kathryn and I went to dinner in De Hallen, an up and coming neighborhood.  The restaurant was the Hotel De Hallen’s outside terrace.  It used to be the tram storage station.  Funky inside.

Saturday, I bought a bike; after having lunch back at the Pekelhaaring.  We went to one place who had no selection.  Then on our way to a large place we passed the week before, Kathryn noticed a small shop hidden in the neighborhood.  I saw THE bike – used, but decent condition, gears, and hand brakes.  Didn’t really ride it except back to the apt.  Soon afterwards, we left to go to the Craft beer fest at Bret in Sloterdijk.  Lots of hipsters.  Very cold and damp. Not a lot of beer stations.  Met a nice guy from Spain and one from Finland.

Sunday we had lunch at the Cafe De Jaren (same as the InterNations event a week ago).   Went to the archeology museum of the UvA before heading home and napping.  Stopped at Puccini Bon Bon for some chocolate.  After dinner at Frenzi, I went home and worked on MCE while Kathryn went for a drink with her friend Jarrod who was on a layover to Uganda.
