We rented some bikes for the week, and have been cruising all over the city. Sought out some galleries yesterday, one was an old building that used to house the elderly, orphans, and such, and is now a museum to its own past. There were a number of installations, video and audio, some architectural, all with a very contemporary flavor that contrasted really nicely with the old-dutch building they were set in. I finished the chapter in The Botany of Desire on marijuana, and am now working on tulips, both talk a lot about Amsterdam. I’ve been very impressed with the freedom of information regarding drugs here. Sanya and I went for a nice walk this morning, we found a bunch of galleries that were all closed, but had a good time peering in windows. Oh, we also ate “Bitterbals” per our host recommendation, but still have no idea what it was. Thanksgiving deep fried in a ball?
