Yeah, been a while

 It'd been quite a while since I'd been here. I know this because there was an unfinished post sitting here from 2012, which has since been published, about my trip to Prague, specifically the 12 hour layover in Amsterdam. I published it without finishing it, because the trip wasn't as fresh in my mind, having been over 9 years ago. I may start posting here more often, or on Instagram if it's more pictures than text. I'm taking a course on outdoor art and documentation, so I might put some of that content here. Things have been all over the place since my last post. My wife and I separated; I had a couple of long depressive episodes; I taught a game development course at Acadia University; I changed jobs a few times; I took courses in book binding and adult education. There's a lot than can fit into 9.5 years.
A Day in Amsterdam Taking a flight from Halifax to Prague, I was provided an opportunity to visit Amsterdam, seeing as I had a 12 hour layover there before the final leg of my voyage. It was a beautiful city and I'm glad I got the chance to see it. I arrived pretty early in the morning, on Christmas Day. My first stop was the Museumplein and the Rijksmuseum. It was very early, and so nothing was open at all. I took the time to walk around the Museumplein and some of the surrounding streets while I waited for everything to open. It was a nice walk and a comfortable 8°C, making for a nice change from the heat of the plane, terminal and bus. Ravens were cawing and pigeons tried to beg food off me. I didn't have any, so they were out of luck.
