Maren checked out the Iamsterdam site and discovered it was the end of Sail 2010, and there would be fireworks in the harbor. So we trekked over Sunday night to the harbor, and walked along and got to go on this super cool sailboat you see Jonathan pulling ropes on and Moritz laughing on. We walked and walked and stopped to hear some musicians sing pirate ballads, and Maren and Jonathan ate bratwurst, and then the ships all lit up their lights, and it was pretty gorgeous, felt kind of carnival-ly. And then we were tired, so we sat and waited for something to happen, and the fireworks started and ended spectacularly. They were glorious. After the show, the air was so full of smoke, it was still hard to see walking across a street four blocks away.We got lost going back to Centraal Station, and took the long way around, but it was a good walk nonetheless.
