See – I didn't just make that up – it's a cafe!

I could have photographed this dog all day.

I love that picture in the window.

The obligatory feet shot.

The flowers were in bloom all over.

Canal traffic jam.

They really need to learn how to lighten up around here.

I have many more photos which will be posted when I return home.  A good majority of the pictures I've taken so far were shot this afternoon as my husband and I sat at a cafe and watched all the boats go by.  We heard a lot of techno music, inhaled some gas fumes, and witnessed a number of bona fide canal traffic jams.  Boats went by with big groups and small groups, carrying mopeds, bicycles, amps (to blare the techno music), dogs, babies, and plenty of wine and picnic food.  I kept wanting to jump onto one of the boats and join the fun, and something tells me it would have been totally OK to be a party crasher (literally).

Next up:  Berlin!
