Ice Cream Patrol
While cycling through one of my favorite neighborhoods on my way to get an ice cream, I witnessed one of those wonderfully Amsterdam moments.
Two police officers on horseback stopped outside the ice cream shop just before I did. One jumped off while the other held both horses, then returned with two ice creams. After handing one over, they rode away together into a street glowing in the evening sun. Everyone smiled, especially the children. It was such a simple, joyful scene I'll never forget.
