Someone in my dictionary's up to no good

This is going to be one of those non-sensical, disjointed entries.

Last weekend we went to Edam with B's family. We saw some ridiculous prettiness. Everything was cute. EVERYTHING. It seemed like a teeny town untouched by anything outside of it. Everyone seemed super-nice and son of a monkey, did I mention how pretty everything was?! We visited Amsterdam too, walking everywhere and just watching things. Strangers were so personable that I felt I was back in the midwest, except of course in Amsterdam there were canals, cobblestones, pot and people with a better fashion sense. It was all so pretty, so hip, so relaxed. B told me before we left Dresden that Amsterdam was one of the cities he could see himself living in. I could see this I suppose, but I do think I would want to move on after a year or so. There were many many places and corners of the city we didn't see that are probably fascinating, but I couldn't do it for the rest of my life. I feel strangely dead-set on living in either Germany or the US for the rest of my days. ANYWAY. We didn't take any digital pictures and only had B's grandpa's old camera but it made a nicer experience I think. We enjoyed a lot of things first and then decided to take a picture, not the other way around, like we sometimes do if we have a digital camera.

Poor B hasn't had two consecutive days off in a row for months, so it was very nice for him to relax a little. It was also nice to come back to Dresden. As we got off the train at Bahnhof Neustadt, we joked about Neustadt's smell, but we of course love Dresden.
