Meetup In Amsterdam
 

Thank you to Rundvis and Mindy for a most splendid, albeit abbreviated, day in Amsterdam. M and I arrived at our hotel to find a welcome present of a 12 Year old bottle of Macallan. Later in the day, we met up face to face and had an enjoyable walk about Amsterdam, pleasant conversation and several pints of a peculiarly familiar black-in-color adult beverage. Durk (Rundvis) and I chatted A'moon and music; Mindy and M chimed in and had their own conversation.

We'd decided on Thai for dinner and, after walking about to several Thai restaurants, we settled into one which, after entering, I realized was one I'd eaten in on a previous visit to A'dam. A group photo taken in the restaurant is attached.

After dinner, we ventured to an Irish pub for several more pints of "G-juice." However, our long journey, jet-lag and lack of sleep too soon had us parting ways. I would have loved to spend a few more hours but just couldn't muster the energy to stay vertical.

Thanks for your kind words Vax !
Loved the company of you two and we do look forward to a the next time.

You're doing a lot for us Moonies so the Macallan is well deserved...it's the
least i could do to show my appreciation.

Tell me...was the Thai-food painful enough...?

Lol

great pic and sound like a good time was had by all...you go VAX 5-star spicy!

One of my favorite aspects of A'moon is meeting fellow moonies.

When I said I wanted it painfully hot, the waiter looked at me like I was joking. No, the "5-star" spicy was barely 1 IMHO. The little ground chilies in oil helped crank it up a bit. No problem though, it was still good eats despite the lack of suitable pain level. :)

You need to get over on this side of the Atlantic. One of the fests would be a great excuse.

Nadina took me to a wonderful Thai in SF. When I said "hot", the proprietor brought out a special tray of accoutrement spices. Exquisite pain. Next time I'm in SF, I'll have to get her to take me there again.
