vegan traveling: Amsterdam, the netherlands: Day...
I woke up quite refreshed on our second day, Saturday, in Amsterdam and was ready to get some breakfast. We picked Bagels & Beans, a franchise, for some coffee and, well, bagels and were greeted by a sign announcing they were now serving soy milk. alRIGHT!                     We had cinnamon bagels with strawberry jam and cafe lattes (€ 3, 55) and fresh orange juice. Some of their bagels are...
