Amsterdam

     I just realized that this single picture more or less sums up Amsterdam. Beautiful but also mysterious and perhaps naughty yet most definitely positive. I don’t know how i got all that from this single shot but anyway. My point is that this European city grabbed me. Something in the air made you feel positive, put a smile on your face, dared you to rethink your routine- i’m referring to the bicycle situation. I knew people used bicycles more than cars but I have never and probably won’t every again see that many bicycles rounded up in one place. I couldn’t give you a number but you get the idea.     Tulips weren’t in season but we got our fair share of wooden ones. Cheese was definitely on the list of goodies to bring back.     I’d give anything to live on one of these streets, in one of these houses.   My two must-do’s: Visit Christmas Palace! And take a boat ride. If only to see the stunning boat houses and bridges.     We even broadened our knowledge…     Last but by no means least, pancakes.    Hope to be back soon. x
