...this afternoon I was looking a the items and prices. Fancy bags for women were in boutique windows about 400 to 600 euros!!!!!!! My round trip ticket from Portland OR to Amsterdam was only a bit more! Guess I'd be hard pressed to travel with the 'right' crowd. I did see a hardware store I liked, though. Luckily it was closed as are most businesses here from about 1230 or 1300 to 1500 or so. The ristorantes and coffee shops are open so all is not lost.
