coffee & canals.

Our time in Amsterdam seemed to revolve around two things: coffee and rain. It rained on and off all day, every day. It would rain even if it the sky was blue and the sun was out and one pretty morning, it actually hailed.

While it was a little cold and uncomfortable at times, I learned to love Amsterdam's rain. It made our boat trip through the canals feel cozy, and it encouraged us to duck into cafes for a cup of dark, frothy coffee every chance we got. We drank so much coffee in Amsterdam, it's a wonder we ever slept.

I live in belgium... we get the same weather so I know how bad it was this week :) I recently found your blog and have very much enjoyed following your travels. Could I ask which camera you use? when I try to photograph coffees and raindrops it never works! enjoy the rest of your trip!

When I was in Amsterdam, we ducked into a lovely shop when the rain was pelting down. The man realised we were from England and in typical fashion we chatted about the rain... He said that this seemed like the rainiest year he'd experienced yet in Amsterdam, but I think the rain there is nice. Mainly because it involves more stops for coffee and poking around little shops!

I've said it before Olivia, and I'll say it again. I'm waiting for the day you start selling your prints. Absolutely beautiful. Thanks for providing my daily dose of pretty.

Live Inspired,
