as the days get warmer i want to spend more time outside. much more. so saturday we went over to one of the parks in ‘de pijp’ neighborhood and had a little dutch picnic. kaas, brood, and genever. i finally finally got to use my travel bar!

this is my best antique find of all time. i found it in a new hampshire antique store. i thought it was a binocular case but when i  opened it i was elated to find 2 travel decanters. one labeled bourbon, one labeled scotch.

sadly scotch is way expensive in the netherlands and bourbon is practically nonexistent. boo. so i filled it with the local liquor, genever.

we walked back towards the city center, stopped by the apartment to grab glasses and some bottles, and sat by a canal drinking bier until the sun went dim.
