Amsterdam, city one

I could easliy live in Amsterdam.

What a chill, beautiful, fun city.

Everyone rides bikes everywhere: women dressed to the nines, kids, men in suits. In fact we saw a guy tonight in a tux. The pace is nice and slow.

The weather is nice and cool and it doesn't get dark until well after 10:00.

Lucky for us, everyone speaks English, so even though we can only read some signs, it's easy to communicate.

Lots of museums, lots of culture.

The city of canals gets an A- in my book. Minus only because the food is okay. No great local cuisine. That we found.

Dutch pancakes might change the minus to a plus, but those are for breakfast tomorrow.

Are you getting somewhere, or did you get lost in Amsterdam?
