It has been a very busy summer, with a trip to Miami to give a talk at a conference and do a lot of science related things in mid-July, two friends staying in my apartment during visits to Amsterdam, lots of students to work with, many bootcamp and spin classes, an intense (4.5 hours every day) Dutch class that I'm currently enrolled in, etc. I took a break to decompress by doing one of my favorite things just before my trip to Miami: walk around Amsterdam with my camera and take some pictures of Amsterdam.
It's been a remarkably warm and dry summer, at least by the standards set by my first two summers here. These pictures were taken during one of the first nights of our sustained summer weather, and people were out in droves to enjoy the late sunshine and lingering warmth.

| Coronas are popular in Amsterdam. This was not mine; someone left an empty on a dock on the Amstel. |
