Amsterdam

Started off the first night in Amsterdam with some classic Dutch food? no, MEXICAN FOOD!!

Red Light District. Very interesting.

Streets of Amsterdam

Streets of Amsterdam

Amsterdam. Forgot what it is.

This is quite typical of how every corner in Amsterdam looks, full of bikes. They say that there are 2.1 bikes per person in the city of Amsterdam. Every year, 25,000 bikes are thrown into the many channels that wind up and down most of the streets of Amsterdam. And those are picked up and sold back to people. YAY!

In the heart of Amsterdam, near the main railway station.

The notorious meal of the trip, Doner Kabobs

With all the bikes in Amsterdam, we had to go for a ride also, so, we hopped on and took off for a ride on this amazing bike

After a long day, it didn't get much easier climbing up the really tall narrow stairs up three flights to our room, but once you lay down, you don't care where it is.
