Set off for amsterdam friday afternoon/evening. beautiful train ride across absolutely flat plains in bright sun and fog. better/worse then the plains around fargo - i like flat more then i should admit. was dark already when we got to amsterdam, a quickish walk got us to our hostel, a few bars - one cool one with old men playing canasta and chess for everyone - and bed. Saturday was bright and sunny and OMG cold! but we shiveringly set off for the docklands.... brand new architecture on brand new land reclaimed from the ocean - interesting to see new stuff work, and work well. Saw the well-published MVRDV building on the ocean first, the off to acres and acres of new stuff right by the ocean - felt like the edge of the world.
