21,074 Steps In Amsterdam (Walk And Walk)
With Miss Maya, who is visiting from Joburg
Began at Bruno’s (he was on the phone, which I have never seen before) as he made us coffee.
Ended with lunch at Stevens before Maya went to CS to catch a train to the Hague to visit Girl (with Pearl Earring) and I headed back to my island.
In the Jordaan a mom taught two under five-year-old sons to bike in front of her
Passed by the ongoing rehab of the old (and giant) Palace of Justice building into a five-star hotel, which is a surefire crime.
Walked by Barlaeus (closed), under the Rijks (yes!), into Vondel (glorious), through the Cuyp (quiet), stopped at Vlieger (paper store from heaven), popped into De Jaren (Grand Cafe), and then arrived Black Gold (home of the flatty) where Siebrand sells coffee and records.
Miss Maya bought Habibi Funk vinyl (and Guatemala beans) after she said to Sie, on behalf of Mr. Dash, “What’s up G?”
(I had a flatty)
For those keeping score, two dog points (and two for cats) en route. (Dog v. Cat.)
