Yesterday, I walked through a fabulous book fair! Rows after row of little tents full of a wide assortment of books, all sorted by subject. Books! And more books! On a lovely, if slightly rainy, Saturday afternoon. So why the sad face?
I’m in Amsterdam. They were all in Dutch.

Do you speak Dutch at all? My French is passable, and I have a good collection of books in French that I always say I’m going to get to, but reading in it is kind of exhausting. Enjoy Amsterdam!

Oooh, the language bit sucks, but I would have loved to have been there anyway.
