Amsterdam Photos Are Finally Up
It's been more than two months since I went to Amsterdam and I've only just now gotten the photos uploaded.
In some ways that was almost better -- waiting until I had been back for some time gave me a chance to enjoy them even more.
Though everyone talks about the pot, Amsterdam is a pleasant city even without it: everything is walkable, rather clean, and very friendly. It was so enjoyable to be able to stroll anywhere and find hidden gems around each corner (like the time someone invited me to their street party). And never mind that I also just started riding and within 30 minutes was near cows and sheeps grazing just outside the city's borders....
My friends have been many many times and never been to any museums, historic sites, or landmarks. I vowed to not be like them, but as soon as I left my hotel, I knew I wasn't going to waste time in a museum; it would be much better to just wander instead. I was totally right.
