Greetings from Amsterdam

I even missed jet-lag (not really)

Goedemorgen! What a beautiful city . . .

My hotel is the building on the right.

It’s been four years since I’ve been to Europe, although it feels much longer, and jet-lag may be the only thing I didn’t miss about traveling. I arrived yesterday morning but despite powering my way through yesterday in order to get on local time I woke up a few hours ago exhausted. But the symposium I’m here to attend isn’t until tomorrow so, tired or not, I have another entirely free day to see some sights and eat more local pancakes.

This is more sugar than I’ve consumed in the last five years.

I’m heading to the Van Gogh Museum now and will check in later.
