Waking up this morning to Slice's 7th birthday. The joke for the past few years is I bought her a ticket to various European cities for her birthday and we would leave a week or two following her special day. This year we actually got to spend her birthday in Europe! Birthday shots were taken in Amsterdam today and we spent the day shopping and exploring more of this bustling city. Don't worry she still got her annual hamburger and ice cream except this year it was a bite of gourmet burger on a patio and sorbet outside in the square! Pretty lucky girl.
I have been promising Pint for weeks that when we got to Europe he could chase pigeons and today was his day. We wondered into DAM Square were there were pigeons a plenty! He was just so excited and was totally oblivious to the hundred thousand people milling about as he went from flock to flock getting them to fly away. It is one of those moments when you heart fills with joy watching how something so simple could make him so happy.
There was lots of wondering in and out of shops and even a few purchases to take home. We were really expecting to do a lot more shopping or rather making purchases than we have been. Fingers crossed for Venice. We have seen some famous landmarks and beautiful streets and scenery. Amsterdam is a very busy city!
Back at the hotel tonight for official team photos, team meeting and team dinner. What a fabulous group of people and dogs. Everyone is having fun and enjoying every moment of being here. Tomorrow the official team practice to get us all in gear.
