It's been raining every day for the last five days. This is starting to get depressing. If I had wanted rain, I could have stayed in Seattle, comfortably locked away at home with hundreds of channels of television. I hope it clears up soon. My vacation is running out and I still need a day to wander around the city taking pictures of the scenery.
On Monday Jana tried to give me a little fashion makeover. There were a few interesting ideas, but unfortunately the sleek European sizes just do not fit on my American sized body. As we were wandering through the narrow alleys looking for clothing stores--most of the interesting shops in Amsterdam seem to be located on the side streets rather than the more crowded main roads--I must not have been paying a little too much attention to the posters of fashion models in the windows and not enough on the ground. I put my foot forcefully down into a rather deep puddle of water and had to walk around for the rest of the day with completely wet feet.
I saw some cool vests at HEMA this morning when I was buying my hooded garbage sack. I think we need to go back -- maybe buy some rubber boots too. :)
