Uneventful week.    I finally started running again.  Woefully out of shape.  Day 1 (Wed), made it about 1.25 miles.  a little better Day 2 (Fri), 1.85 miles.

Wednesday we went to dinner at A Tavola, an Italian restaurant relatively close to the apt.  Recommended to us, but we would not recommend it.

Weekend was eventful.

Friday night we tried a new Indonesian place in Rembrantplein – Indrapur.  Was a great meal.  Definitely heading back.  Afterwards we strolled to the Muziekgebouw’s outdoor restaurant Zouthaven for a sunset drink.

Saturday we started the day with a bike ride to Broek in Waterland.  Was a tiny village with an OK church.  We were too early for lunch so we decided to move further north to Monnickendam, a sea-side village more in line with “mini-Amsterdam on Cape Cod”.

We had a good lunch at De Koperen Vis, followed by Gelato after a brief stroll through their “museum”.  We then headed home to get ready for the evening.

Saturday evening we started at Johanna’s apt near Vondelpark for drinks and AH pizza.  At 8, we headed to Knijn for bowling with the AMS meetup group.  Saw Titus there, and Kathryn may have met Linn, another “normal” female in the NGO space.  I had one great game out of three then we headed home rather than stay out for drinks.  We had biked 3 hours earlier and were just exhausted.

Sunday we started late.  We went to lunch at the Pancake Bakery on Prinsengracht.  From there, I headed home and Kathryn met Bec for some coffee and shopping.  At night, after leftovers, I played a game with Jim.
