An image of a man and a woman standing before the Selling Point part of the Rijksmuseum's exhibit "American Photography". There is a green sign that says Selling Point in the top left corner. There are 4 colourful posters on the wall, each selling a particular aspect of America. They all have the header "This is America" with the tagline "Keep it Free".

Politics everywhere, all the time

I’m on the other side of my time in Amsterdam and Den Haag, with one day left and it’s a work day, not a tourist day. I leave for Poland on Saturday. Mostly for family and friends who are probably wondering why I’m not posting about my trip like usual on Facebook, this post includes odds and ends.

Spontaneity while traveling is not my jam.
I blame my proclivity to overly organized travel on a Gutenberg bible. Of the possibly 180 copies ever printed, there are only 49 remaining known original Gutenberg bibles, of which only 21 are complete. I know this because when I was planning a trip to New York City in 2020, I wanted to leverage my time there to see something once-in-a-lifetime big.
