Day’s crimson end. Warm night air. A hundred whistling cicadas. Spent muscles overcome with a slow rising yawn. Sleep that tastes like watermelon to a parched tongue.

Pancakes and the sunny Dutch countryside - a perfect start to the first spring weekend

I’ll be spending the next couple of weeks in Amsterdam with a fantastic group of human geographers interested in urban animals. It’s been an inspiring first few days - huge rally and strikes at UvA against the budget cuts, incredible Surinamese food, and grey herons at markets!

It’s a Pessoa kind of morning on the Ringbahn

Thanks a lot to whoever stole my bike yesterday. It was really perfect timing as I am planning to be in Amsterdam soon for a month and would have no use for my bike there. Big thanks to ABUS whose 50-euro lock was no match for the dedication of the thief. Thanks a lot for leaving my helmet behind…
