enjoying the little ones

we enjoyed the long week-end very much ... it all started off with a night out with the best of the best ... what do you expect if you are having dinner with Dawn (MC project manager) and of course Olly (the best User Experience architect alive on this planet) .. all of this in the best surroundings of the Fifteen restaurant in Amsterdam ...

a smashing combination from my part, getting the best of cooking with the best of web ... of course the night was filled with many discussion on web and how to get from WEB 2.0 to WEB 3.0 ... ideas that certainly require some further investigation over some wine and by preference under a nice sunset ... to be continued ..

Saturday was recovery day for us , topped off with the latest play of Abbatoir Ferme, a local Mechelen theater crew that is rocking the boat ... artistically a very nice play, even superb i would say .. telling a story without words always has been my favorite, but i could not help to wonder why we always need to look for things so far deep down and beyond the normal reason .... as a counter measure to the high artistic values we went for a bike ride on Sunday, crossing the Ardennes and visiting the flee markets .... contrast between art and kitch or whatever you call it ...

today was running around to get the necessary bikes (yes Agnes needs some bike in Amsterdam to really feel integrated there :-) )... in the evening the real art .... a vernisage of 5 young artists , between 6 and 8 years old ...

it was so nice to get the explanantion of Ward on his art pieces .. it were all dreampeople that he gave a face, rushing through the gallery at the end he ran off continuing to play with his brother in the back yard ....

does one need more of a week-end ?

Happy travels
