Thursday In Amsterdam

I met some Americans at a cafe during the afternoon. They were on an expense account for an oil conference. I was supposed to get together with them later to go to a coffee shop. Turns out he lost his phone. Going to a Dutch coffee shop means buying marijuana over the counter. After waiting for the Americans to call I decided to go out to dinner by myself. 

I asked the waiter after dinner about the coffee shop down the street and he said it was a nice one. I decided to go by myself. You walk in and there is a list of their products. You can buy a joint and they have about eight varieties. I had a really nice chat with an Italian who has a food import business and a restaurant. He and his chef really seemed to enjoy my photos of markets all over the world. I felt the coffee shop experience was something I should do while in Amsterdam.
