Cupcakes in Amsterdam? Yes! Amazing cupcakes made by
Dan the Cookie Man. If you are ever in the area, you must track down this quaint little cupcake and cookie oasis for the fluffiest butter cream frosting in the world! If you read this Dan... so nice to meet you. Thanks for the great little cupcake.
Walking the streets of Amsterdam.
Cafe picture. One of about ten thousand cafes. And every cafe serves beer. And they are not kidding around in this place. People are drinking the beer by about, um, 10 a.m. I opted out of beer and went straight for the little tiny dutch apple pancakes. The best little things I have ever eaten.
Traffic Jam?
Twice a year the city shuts down one of the canals, builds a huge stage on the water, and puts on a free concert by the Amsterdam Symphony and Orchestra. We just happened to be in town on that one Saturday night. Amazing timing. All the boats jam in for an up close encounter and the rest of the concert-goers pack in the streets and sidewalks with blankets, wine, cheese, and pastries. When the music started everyone was quiet. Respectful. When the concert was over I don't think I saw any litter anywhere. And I never once felt like I might get killed by a thug. Quite the different experience than a big, free, city-wide Dallas event. It was a perfect night.
My brother-n-law Riley and his fiance
Claire met us for a few days. Claire is currently serving with the Peace Corp in Ukraine, just had her first article published in the Wall Street Journal, and loves Mexican food as much as I do. I'm not sure about Riley, but Claire and I were made for each other! And yes, those are tortilla chips. And yes, we
did find amazing Mexican food in Amsterdam.
Brothers.
The best festival we have ever played at! Thank you so much
Flevo Festival for having us as your guests. These pics were taken by
Henk-Jan van der Klis... thanks so much for the amazing photos.
We had such a wonderful time with our new Dutch friends! Seriously these are fun-loving, music-loving, genuinely lovely people and we were so glad to make new friends and fans. There are thoughts and stories to come, but for now, hope you enjoy the pics. I cannot wait to get home and see my little squirrel... only ten more hours.

Sounds like an awesome trip. Loved the pics
Hi Jenny,
I saw you guys at Flevo and I loved both of your shows. The song 'What Do I Know of Holy' really helped me re-focus on God that weekend and just get really honest before Him again. So thanks! And I also had fun jumping around to the other songs. Hope you come back for another concert in Holland sometime!
Blessings,
Renée
It's amazing you got to play in Amsterdam. It's a fun little town, we got to see Anne Frank's house and some other fun stuff during a layover a few years ago. I'm sure you enjoyed it.
Thanks for the pics. And Jenny, you're looking great!
PS: I wrote a blog post about your Flevo show right here: www.thousandsofmiles.wordpress.com Including a picture :)
I visited Amsterdam on a Tour of Europe 2 years ago and was AMAZED about how clean and peaceful the city was; all you hear is all the negatives. I know yall did a great job, and thank you for all the encouragement your blog brings to myself and everyone who reads it!
Looks like you had a great time! I LOVE that orange scarf!
I must say you looked very European for the show! Looks like yall had a great trip! I'm glad the Netherlands didnt let you down on two of your favorite food items.
I'm glad you had a great trip. I wanted to go as soon as I saw that picture of the cupcakes! And I am amazed that the Netherlands has Mexican food... another reason for me to go! Haha. Cute outfits, by the way.
