#5 Binnnen Weirengerstraat

we have technology, and are having a blast. it's raining now, but the weather has been great. We are off to Visrestaurant Lucius, an old-time favorite, so we should have a good dinner.

the big update is that since April of this year, there is NO alcohol and coffeeshop mingling, at all. all of the coffeeshops that did serve beer and spirits have removed them, and it does appear that there are a few more coffeeshops.

while it has changed the vibe of some of the older places, it has given opportunity to the smart to jump on it. some of them have gone for refurbishment, and a few are adding food as a venue. all in all it's okay, it just came as a real shock when we went to my favorite place, the Greenhouse, and realized that the tap was missing...

the apartment we have is great, it's about 200 meters from the first hostel that I stayed in in '90. the neighborhood is the Joordan, and it is really nice. we are having long walks and good adventures. we'll head over to der wallen after dinner.

more later, tot ziens!!

no beer at the greenhouse...next you're going to tell me that young women clad in gold teeth and gargantuan "pussies" aren't still loitering at that corner novelty shop in the red light district.

Yeah Greenhouse just isn't the same without the bierjes. Dampkring is my new favorite though.
