The reality of where I am hasn't quite set in yet. I'm still in the delerium of timezone change, enthralled with the ornate and detailed architecture of every building. The tap water tastes sweet and rich with unfamiliar minerals. There are many strange birdsongs, and familiar cherry blossoms, wisteria, horse chestnut. I am equally exhausted and ecstatic.
Tomorrow is Queen's Day, where not only does the whole city celebrate the Queen's birthday, but since it is the only day when its legal, they all have garage sales. All over Amsterdam, squares are chalked and taped off, with names marking the territory as "gereserved".
