goldbergs in Amsterdam

Yesterday we returned from Veen in time to meet up with Maryvonne & Eddie at the Cafe Americain in Amsterdam. We caught the train back to T's apartment then went out to dinner at a restaurant on the edge of the sea called Kaap Kot which is apparently a pun meaning it was like Cape Cod but also like a bach by the sea. It is on an artificial island near the Schellingwouderbruggen. Across the water is a whole new suburb built on reclaimed land. Eddie explained to me that it is only electric pumps that keep Holland from disappearing under water in a few days - there are diesel pumps on standby for emergencies.
