it's been a couple of days but the misplaced bike story must be concluded. we did find it without too much effort, thanks to ching's directional instincts. a series of vaguely familiar landmarks led us to the church fence where we left it. AND, to my surprise, the church was Oud Kerk, probably the oldest church in Amsterdam. it's now a space for exhibitions and there was the World Tour '09 photojournalism exhibit going on. it was awesome!
we also found windmills that day! well, only 2, and one was a museum in the town of leiden. not much else to see there except for giant pannenkoeken with cheese and tomatoes - the native food of the area. it was ok, a little bland.
the daylight lasts until about 10p here, and it's not totally dark til 11, so you feel like you want to keep going til you drop. we got in early that night to get ready for bruges early the next day.
