full cylindrical qtvr

still wandering around amsterdam.. i think i found an electronics shop around here, where i got a replacement power supply for my cassiopeia pda.. my introduction to european voltages was by way of a small stream of smoke coming from the adapter when i plugged it into my hotel room wall outlet..

When i first arrived in amsterdam, i had a week or so before my friends arrived, so i hit up a couple coffee shops and wandered around a bit..

My friend john and i got adventurous one evening and climbed the south-west tower of the williamsburg bridge.. there was construction going on, so there was a scaffolding staircase leading up to the top.. a breathtaking view, if a bit sketchy.. we could have hung out there till sunrise, if not for a helicopter with searchlights that seemed to suggest it was time to go..

The southside, before getting overrun by cafes and boutiques.

Grand Street Park; at least that's what i've always called it.. The Williamsburg bridge can be seen, and i think that's Domino's Sugar factory to the left (this was taken back when domino was still around..).
