Yesterday, we went to the weekly flea market, held at the Noordmarkt. There were a lot of fun vintage items, and I could easily have spent all day there, and a lot of money. Luckily, we have baggage limits. We were entertained by the gypsy jazz band, who played such gypsy jazz favorites as Tequila and House of the Rising Sun. And, if we lived here, we would certainly get a Bakfiets bike to take home all our treasures…

We had already walked through several of the everyday outdoor markets, but they were not interesting, because we are not cooking big meals so all we could really do is gawk at the beautiful local produce, and are not interested in cheap Chinese crap of which there is a lot… The world is the same wherever you go.
