28. dam festive series

mrs adventure is chuffed. practicing her singing on the way to not quite midnight mass is great.




side streets are empty. amsterdam is empty. bikes still abound. a few extra weird looking vehicles can be seen.

















going to church must have helped. christmas day did begin the next day. once a year this groundhogs dream comes true.



here's an example of the joy you can get openning presents while talking on skype to the giver.






here's an example of traditonally wearing said new stuff out to traditional turkey lunch, with auusie nerd rockers The Debators.






before, when it was warmer there were leaves on the trees.



now it is not so warm, the leaves have all gone, and white fluffy stuff falls sometimes from the sky. we think it is called cloud flowers.




next day we went to den haag and it was too cold to take pictures. too cold to do anything really, so into the mauritshaus for a look at frans van mieres. on the train, ms adventure's head tried to expand trying to assimilate the master painter.



off the train and the cloud flowers had spread like fireweed.




next day at the departure lounge, the flowers turned trifid and decided to take over. small children squealed in the streets and threw it at each other.




on departure, recalcitron wished his small animal friend good luck and venturing out to ride home was shocked to see the locals casually going about their business.
