Our exciting start to November is looking less and less exciting. It was always a long shot. Might be better to have a good pattern materialize later anyhow. 
Happy Halloween

Got that right. I still need a few more weeks to finish pre-winter tasks anyway. Hopefully December looks better.

Because I am fully vaxxed, just needed a rapid antigen test to get back into US (and for entry into Netherlands).  I got it at Schiphol airport in Amsterdam the day prior.  It cost €85. There were much cheaper options in the city but this was more convenient and i got results back in about 20 minutes, so it was a burden lifted and I enjoyed one last night in the city without worries. 

A lot of mask use in Europe, required on mass transit and planes and dining.  Restaurants, pubs in the bigger cities were more rigorous about checking that you were vaxxed upon entry. Outlying areas...not so much.  I didn't have a QR code as I'm not living in Eurooe but everyone accepted my US CDC vax card. I didn't want to bring it and risk losing it but def glad I did.  A couple places were uneasy about the photo on phone so after that I brought it everywhere.
