Day Eleven: Two sides of Amsterdam

Yes, I mean that both literally and figuratively.

First, Barney's -- both a coffeeshop and one of the places to get breakfast in the city. Though I didn't partake of the greener aspects of the coffeeshop, the breakfast gets a big thumbs-up.

Second, the largest Buddhist temple in Europe. Very nice Kuan-Yin shrine. I should say, Mr. Squirrel and I have two "deity" (note loose usage of the word) representations hanging in our apartment: Kuan-Yin and Green Man. It seemed fitting - as travelers - to make some kind of offering at this shrine.
