#amsterdam TGI Friday

Its Friday morning and I just got up, the weather was looking good but slowly its getting grey and windy. Change of plans maybe some late lunch and some house cleaning in place of laying in the sun at he Vondel Park .
I watched the news until late last night, its dreadful what's going on in the world so much anger and misery. Lots of injustice lies and deceit. but at the same time we in the west are going through a time of prosperity the more money we make the more we get greedy and become afraid it will run out some day even children are being used as pawns in this game of chess .
The World Cup is going great so far for some countries, Portugal is doing well but the way its going some teams are looking strong as well, some interesting games coming up in the next weeks.
Happy weekend to all and greetings from Amsterdam My city My life.

Random words and Images


The Summer Days are here

Sunday June 30th. Words from my Diary.

It is warm and it feels good when I'm on the canals playing Captain on the high seas.
Gaivota is sailing smoothly, Ouder Kerk Aan De Amstel  was a pleasure to visit.
Nice lunch, perfect company, and a sweet village, perfect place for Photos and away from Urban Stress.
Now I will first try to go across on the ferry, to get an ice cream then its back to Amsterdam and have a well deserved nap.  Nice.

Here are some photos and Happy Summer Days
