Since we were too embarrassed to show our faces in church with Max after last week, we decided to do a little city touring by bike. Sunday mornings in Amsterdam are very quiet to put it mildly. I think no one goes out of their house before noon. So it is a good time to see some parts of the city where the streets are really narrow, like Bicker's Island.
It is only a 10 minute bike ride from our house, but it does feel like it's own little world. It's said that some Amsterdamer's don't even know it's there. It's full of bricked streets, old shuttered houses, and grachts (canals) lined with houseboats. We had a nice ride for about an hour and then Max was telling us that he really needed to go to a park. So we stopped at a park in the Jordan and had a little snack of chocolate croissants and appletaart before heading back on our bikes to home.

Now you have me curious... what did Max do LAST week?
yeah, I agree... what did happen last week? don't leave us hanging like that...
If I got to have "a little snack of chocolate croissants and appletaart" I'd be crying for a park, too!
PS: When is our park date, Max?
