a friend of my boss from australia, peter, has been in town for the past 2 days, just passing through, as he is taking some holiday time... he invited jennifer and i for dinner tonight, and since we have been working nonstop all week, we both agreed it would be a welcome break. after trekking all of jordaan looking for anything open, we opted for cinema paradiso.
seems lately amsterdam is in hibernation as everyone has been flocking to their local pubs, stores closed very early, and no one on the streets - at pubs or at home. portugal was playing czech republic -- i was rooting for portugal (as i have a fond place in my heart for them, though that's as far as it goes, because they play the same way, hard at the beginning then they die off when it matters).
we ran into yvonne, irene, and gang as we were leaving.. we headed to finch to catch some drinks and watch the turkey vs switzerland match. again we ran into the girls as they had just finished dinner and headed over -- we tried to get the big guy to come out with us, but he was still in a meeting, so it ended up being 7 girls and 1 aussie; mind 6 of us were football fanatics, jennifer not so much as well as peter.
