New colors in Amsterdam

One thing the Dutch love to talk about is the weather. I hear these conversations all day long. It's good practice for my beginner Dutch! It may not officially be autumn (is it?) but it sure looks that way. Such a lovely time of year in this city. The leaves of course are the highlight. All the oranges and yellows go perfectly with my teal coat. The weather hasn't been too bad yet, either. At least 3 sunny days per week, and some off-and-on sun on other days. This is the time of year the weather can't decide on anything.


I joined a local yoga studio and in one of the classes, the instructor spoke about the fall; that it's a time to reflect inward and, like the trees, change your inner color, express yourself in a different way, and maybe think about shedding something you've been holding on to for a while. I've been thinking about that quite a bit because I can't seem to pin something down. What could I let go of? Maybe I should be vegan again. Become a tea drinker. Give up Facebook. I don't know. Maybe I'll just think about it more and get back to you. ;)

For now, I just looooove riding my bike in this city...
