Getting lost in Amsterdam - again.
Setting off with specific goals is nice for those individuals who do not prefer distractions. However, getting distracted by alternate routes also encourages one to become quite hopelessly lost. Heading down from the boutiques of Haarlemmerdijk, I accidentally wandered into Oude West, rather than cut across the center.
This proves that I continue to expect long distances and a very large city while Amsterdam is, truly, quite cozy. I only wish that I could have learned this before I walked all the way to Orteliuskade: that's the distance to the next city!
At least I found an abandoned shop with mannequins:
Feeling a bit peckish, I bought a couple of herrings - and they were delicious! Perhaps my heritage or Poulsbo's Viking Fest is manifesting.
