Well, we went off on an adventure last week. A short two hour flight and we were in the Netherlands. Such a laid back place for such a large city. Amsterdam had so much to offer in the way of culture, food and interesting sights.
Well, I have one more short blog to write before I surrender the laptop to Chris. The blog will be out of action for awhile. But before I go....it is off to Paris on a high speed (4 hour) train ride from Amsterdam.
Here a few sights that we came across and probably what many people associate with Holland:
Flowers. Unfortunately, we ran out of time before we ever had the opportunity to visit any tulip fields, but there were some wonderful flower markets scattered about the town.
Wooden shoes. Plenty of these on display at all of the tourist shops. Funny, I didn't see any of the locals wearing any though. They are even selling this design in a soft, slipper design now, so you to can now be fashionable on your way to a good night's sleep.
Say "Cheese!" Yes, a plethora of cheese (and smells) await those who visit Amsterdam. Every kind of cheese for every kind of taste can be found.
