We totally failed getting cell phones today. You have to have a bank account and debit card before you can get a phone here. So, we had to wait for the mail to come today to get our new Dutch debit cards, then we had to ride our bikes (oh yeah..did I mention we bought bikes?) to the bank to activate them. The bank was closed of course! So, no phones for us until at least Tuesday. The whole town is shutting down for the holiday.

So yeah...we bought bikes last weekend and have officially assimilated into the bike capitol of the world. It's truly amazing just how many bikes there are here! There are basically bike highways everywhere and they are packed. Yes, there is a bike rush hour.

Going to the Van Gogh Museum tonight for an Expat reception. Cocktails, hors d' oeuvres and art!! Hopefully I'll get some pictures to share.

In the meantime, here is a nice canal shot I took the other day.
