Amsterdam is not a large city. Its population is under 800,000, and you can ride your bike from the southern end (around my office) to the northern end (around Central Station). It would be the 16th largest U.S. City, right after Columbus, Ohio. Even so, it has world class museums, restaurants, and dance clubs.
It was my 30th birthday on Tuesday, and I decided to take advantage of the restaurant variety and have Ethiopian food for the first time in eight years. Albuquerque, despite having Vietnamese, Thai, Ayurvedic, Greek, Mexican, Italian, and Brazilian, had no Ethiopian.
It was fantastic, with lots of fun, unique aspects to the meal. There was a beer made from banana and a beer made from quinoa. A large, pancake like spongy bread with a cornucopia of meats, vegetables, and lentils. There was cinnamon and stracciatella ice cream. And after, there were beers at Dopey's Elixer, a fun neighborhood tavern.
It was a nice birthday. Even far away from family and my closest friends, it was eventful and memorable. As most things in Amsterdam tend to be.
Spider make webs surprisingly quickly around here. This one was on a bike next to mine on the rack.
