Visitors from North Carolina...

Our second set of visitors for the month were also just staying for one night. We met Heiko at the Sir Walter Raleigh Hash around 1997 and were thrilled that he was finally making it to Holland after visiting his family in Germany. It was also great to meet his girlfriend, Debbie. I met them at the Van Gogh Museum to spend a day in Amsterdam.

Both Heiko and Debbie are very into beer, so we made several stops including at our favorite crooked bar, Café de Sluyswacht, and at a microbrewery.

Saw several cool things around town today, including this solar mobile phone charging station at Museumplein...

...and this adorable Dutch Lady from the 2009 citywide art exhibit and fundraiser called the Elephant Parade.
