Yesterday Bella was in Amsterdam for one evening. She was flying from Bulgaria to Washington D.C., with a stop-over in Amsterdam. She is a friend of Sasha; they met in Washington but their families accidentally both come from Perushtitsa, Bulgaria.

Bella had not been in Amsterdam before so yesterday we made a long walk through the city, and we saw many of the highlights of Amsterdam. We started with De Munt and Rembrandtplein, over the canals to the Rijksmuseum and Leidseplein. Later we saw Dam Square, the Red Light District and Central Station. It's nice to look at the city through the eyes of a tourist.

Later we had Belgium beers in De Ooievaar, a pleasant old-fashioned Dutch bar at the beginning of the Zeedijk. We had a very nice evening.
