The Airportline: Observations

Rain is once again following us on the streets of Amsterdam. In the darkness of last night we cruised through the empty streets below the bright yellow street lights. Fall is here and Amsterdam is settling into it with the same ease as always. The facades of the old buildings look oddly well placed in the misty rain, as if they were waiting for it all summer and now can function again. With smaller tourist crowds and the stormy weather Amsterdam is back. For better and for worse this is what this city is about and even tonights football game between Hungary and Sweden won't impact that in any way.
