Langestraat...

Behind our house, parallel to Herengracht, is the Langestraat. Dave discovered the calm beauty of walking this little protected stretch when we still had Remmie. He's really loved spending time on this street. And now, I'm hooked.

Picturesque at every corner, music is often being played from pianos and guitars hidden from view. Every tenth window or so has a sign requesting that dog owners take with them their pup's...ahem...treasures. The cobble-laden street itself is quiet, allowing for only one lane of traffic to come through. Glowing in small pools of occasional red light, the flowers, plants, bicycles and handmade signs are what make this strip what it is.
