Tourist/local
A few points where I think I may no longer be a tourist of Amsterdam.
I'm a local: Riding my bike past the Rijksmuseum I ring my bell and scare the beegeebies out of the tourists wandering in the bike path. I don't slow down, I whiz right past them and they let out a little yelp and jump back on the sidewalk. Dumb tourists, I think, don't they know to stay out of the bike path?
I'm a tourist: I still get high blood pressure riding the minivan bike in traffic and my kids always wear their helmets.
I'm a local: Today was a monumental day when I remembered to start bagging my own groceries in my own bags brought from home.
I'm a tourist: I don't know half of what the things I buy at the grocery store are or how to cook them. Today I caved and bought a "burrito kit." Ha!

I thought you were from Burien, not a world-traveler. Do you miss the King Wha? What about a local tacoria on 152nd? There are several to choose from, you know.
Weekend in Germany? You rock.
