Today I went to the old center of Amsterdam. I needed to go to Cortina Papier on the Reestraat. It is a stationary store specializing in journals, notebooks, photo albums, and dip pens. I took tram # 5 on the way back to my office and sketched this lady, who was so absorbed in her book. A little girl who sat behind me was very curious about what I was doing. So she took a peak at my sketchbook. When I looked up, she shyly sat down again beside her father.
