Amsterdam: iPhone edition

I don't always carry around my heavy camera with me so here are a few photos I took with my iPhone these past months.

Enjoy! 

Rolling Kitchens

It was that time of the year again...My favorite time of the year!

Westerpark lets a bunch of food trucks take over for five days.

This year, unfortunately, due to so much work I only got to go twice; which in my opinion isn't and was not enough.

But there is always next year!

This year it was our FIFTH Rolling Kitchens (you can check the previous years by clicking here)

Here are some photos from this year.

Enjoy!

Easter Sunday

Such a wonderful, sunny day this Easter day in Amsterdam.
I leant back against a bridge and was just people watching and clicking away.
Here is what I saw.
Enjoy!

Props to my soulmate for this last picture of Felix the cat with the famous Marc Jacbos and his amazing handmade jewlery check it out here!

Sunday morning in Amsterdam

This weekend we had to play tourists with visitors to show them around Amsterdam (Which is something I love to do)

So this morning my soul-mate and I woke up bright and early to head to the city center to show them around the city; trying to show them as much of Amsterdam as we could before 3pm (The time they had to leave to catch their flight). It is always so much fun and challenging to think of ways to show people Amsterdam in their varied time frames. I think we managed well ;) 

I was so surprised by how quiet the city is on a Sunday morning though and how much easier it is to walk around.

Here are some photos of this weekend all taken with my iPhone.

Enjoy! 

Sinterklaas toot toot!

I absolutely love Christmas but I love Dutch Christmas the most. Sinterklaas arrived in Amsterdam on his steamboat this past Sunday. I made sure to be at the skinny bridge extra early to get a good view; and I did!

There are no words to explain what this parade is like. There is so much warmth and joy. The children were singing songs for over an hour waiting for Sints arrival by boat. They patiently waited under the rain. No child was grumpy because of the rain and of standing in the cold. They just waited and waited and sang and sang.

I really don’t know what else I could write to explain the feeling of watching these children super excited sitting in boats or standing on the bridge to wave hello to Piet and Sint. There are just no words. J

Here are some pictures of what went on and if you would like to see pictures from the previous year’s click here.
