Walking, walking, walking!


In the past week I have walked through the entire city: Noord to Zuid, Oude West to the Docklands.
 
My feet hurt terribly, but I now have the streets memorized and it is a precious trade. 

I have favorite coffee shops and neighborhoods; prefer two markets and a bakery; and have even chosen a beautiful bench for my morning breakfast! 
The language that once seemed so strange and counterintuitive to my pronunciations is now sounding more fluid. I can discern basic phrases and intuit most street names. Isn't it time to leave?
