Morning View - Keizersgracht 320
Score Swank! Its a brisk 40 degrees outside, but it calm, and the sun is climbing up the sky. The trees on the canal look to be ready for spring as well now. As most hotels were booked for this week, I found a nice little apartment for a few days. Coffee machine, internet wire, orchids, a shower - its all good, and feels like plenty of space.Flights were easy today - and the transatlantic leg was really quick - 8.5 hours from Houston.
I'll get my shirts ironed and get on a train to The Hague here shortly.

I actually prefer apartments to hotels. In San Francisco I stayed in an apartment for a few days, it totally beats any hotel.
So how does it feel to stay in a place that I consider my goal in life ... (ie. own a flat on the Keizersgracht).
The high ceilings, elaborate chandeliers, staircase that might as well be a twisted ladder, its quite amazing. The furnishings are nice, and the price is actually the same as the hotel in Den Haag.
I feel totally upper crust, and I suppose I should thank you, as the taxpayers are the ones that brought me here, as they will be using my software. Perhaps you should come by for a tea or bierje if you're in the neighborhood?
Amsterdam has always been a nice place to live for a short while. The other apartment I had was an enormous one on the Lauriergracht - the bedrooms were in the back, and the canal facing side had 2 living areas. I remember one of the locals that came by that pointed to the living room and asked "And who lives there?"
