Me in Amsterdam!

Once again, the non-glamorous shot but highly effective (I'd say:):

As I mentioned, a new friend from the DD course (and his partner) offered me a place to stay.  Here are some pics of their beautiful home:

Their apartment is at the top of the building (of course it would be so for me and my psychic and very real baggage:).  As T advised me, there are no real rules for how buildings are built so, to best utilize space (and why waste it on stairways?), the stairs are more like ladders, very narrow steps and very straight up.  As I was negotiating them, I was thinking that they would make a very effective exercise regime.

But to manage the several flights of stairs to encounter this lovely home made it quite worthwhile.  The light alone.  I can understand why they love it so much.

I appreciate their sharing it with me, even for a short time.

I'll post a more fulsome post about Amsterdam later today or tomorrow.  I need to pack and get ready to go to the new DD course - Let's Talk!
