Amsterdam, more of July 2

More Amsterdam photos.
     
The most famous "coffee shop" in Amsterdam.
 
A cat in that coffee shop. Is it even possible to tell if a cat is stoned?

Voted the best fries in Amsterdam for 2012. The first time we got fries in Amsterdam (not at this place), we were unimpressed by the much-vaunted peanut sauce -- it was thick and sludgy and barely tasted like peanuts. This place had about 20 different sauces for their fries. Most people have them with mayonnaise.

Another transport/delivery "arm", this time with a pulley.

Cheese shop near the flower market. You can sample. It was all yummy, but I don't think you can bring any of it into the States.

Our favorite bakery, just down the street and across the canal from our hotel. Across a narrow street from another coffee shop, called "Dutch Flowers". That little intersection showed up in not one, but two tourist videos about Amsterdam. The sign advertises their specialty, "syrup waffles" -- two thin, crispy cookies with a layer of thick syrup (or maybe honey?) in between. Really good.
Poppyseed pastry at the same bakery

Our "usual" chair was taken the second time we went to the bakery, but we were able to share the table

 The lobby restroom at our hotel.
