Over the long weekend (which really was for Belgians only and included All Saint's Day moved to Nov 11 since the real one fell on a Sunday and Armistice Day which is celebrated differently in different countries) the Dunn family took a great trip to Amsterdam! We stayed at a B&B in the Jordaan neighborhood, which was formerly "working class" and the site of potato riots during WWII and housing riots in more recent years. Now it seems like a great place to live with cute houses, restaurants, and shops. Here is a part of a neighborhood playground, which houses rabbits and chickens.
Here are Chris and Eliot posing by some canal houses.
Many of the bridges have their names posted. Brug means bridge in Dutch.
Here is Eliot having Okonomyaki - a japanese pancake. Chris and I liked these when we were in Japan and haven't seen them since so we took the chance to have some in Amsterdam. Eliot liked them and also liked playing with the chopsticks. He used them to stab at his food and as drumsticks but did stop long enough for me to give him some food with them. Yummy! He also liked watching the chef cook up the pancakes.
