Ah yes....the Dutch tradition of grabbing a raw herring by the tail and slidin
g it straight down your throat followed by some yummy raw onions and pickles. Mmmm, mmm good. The market place in Amsterdam is open every day. A fantastic row of tents filled with clothes, shoes, nuts, candies, sunglasses, purses, fruits, vegetables, and fresh fish. The party I was with that day included JG, P, and a friend of JG's named R. We were
feeling like trying many Dutch things that day including Dutch apple pie and herring. We ate the herring with a fork instead of the traditional "slide down the throat", and it was probably the
nastiest thing I have ever tasted. You know that smell when you drive by a sewage plant that caught on fire next to a field filled with manure and dead birds rotting in the sun? That's what raw herring tastes like.

I already told you this, Cait, but that last pic is awesome. What timing getting the girl behind you making the same face. She must also be a foreigner. :)
