Beautiful Amsterdam

We just spent 4 glorious days in Amsterdam and wow! What a magnificent city. It's absolutely gorgeous, with canals and bridges and gardens everywhere. The architecture is quite incredible and I was very happy to see a Renzo Piano building (the NEMO) in person. Everybody in Amsterdam rides a bike-you gotta watch out for them or they'll run you over. I was more scared of the bikes than of the cars as we were crossing the streets. The shopping is ridiculous! The fashions are quite extravagant and there are so many tennis shoes and boots and purses and clothes. I got an amazing bag that cost way too much money but will be a good souvenir of my time in Europe. The food is great. Chocolate and waffles and shakes and pastries and pizzas-food everywhere! The Red Light District is a must see of course, but a night it can be a bit sketchy. It was such a fun time! Best so far!!!
