Last week I was in Amsterdam a couple of evenings, so most of the images 
are from there. But first, one of my commuting pictures, in my favorite 
small town, Zaltbommel:

Then Wednesday night in Amsterdam I stumbled into this beer shop, called 
De Bierkoning (King of Beers)--and they are not kidding:

Then I took a walk on Kalverstraat and saw these two French women (I 
overheard them) who had really caught the Christmas spirit:

The smaller, residential streets in the center of Amsterdam are also 
beautifully illuminated:

Then came the weekend. The weather was definitely not conducive to 
taking a motorcycle ride:

...or to sitting on our deck chairs:

But my son had a party to go to in Amsterdam on Saturday night, so I 
drove him there and went for a short walk after safely depositing him. 
Many of the bridges across the canals are like this right now:

The complete PAW index is at:

and comments/critique are as always gratefully welcomed.

I am off on the annual Christmas trek to Denmark and Poland on Thursday 
morning, so my next PAWs will most likely come when I am back in the 
second week of January--unless I end up posting something from my laptop 
while there.
