Earlier this year, we visited Melbourne’s tiny and exclusive Bar Americano, where high-quality ingredients are mixed with laboratory precision by highly invested mixologists (that ridiculous word is very seldom appropriate, but it is in this case).

Yesterday we visited Amsterdam’s House of Bols, where a mildly interesting tour ends in a swirl of brightly colored sugar syrups scientifically formulated to make college girls forget their parents’ wise warnings.

The line outside the van Gogh Museum was shorter and less miserable than the Anne Frank line.

While the people are away, the cats will develop an inexplicable taste for “football.” Thanks Prov…. and Go Ajax!

Spinoza statue at Waterlooplein: “the purpose of the state is freedom.”

“Mixed Snack” at the Art Nouveau showpiece Bar Américain off the Leidseplein. What’s funny is that even after all this, we walked by a place advertising all you can eat spare ribs and thought it sounded good.
