Amsterdam in Pictures

The cars are smaller. Didn't see any SUV's
Trash can....
Sumon...
Snow visiting people she didn't even know.


Everyone rides bikes. Remember no SUVs either.
Look closely there is a kid in the front of that first bike.
"Oh My!"
Panoramic Picture


Snow always inventing something. (looks like it might have been a firefighters ladders and everyone knows how much Snow loves firefighters!!!)
Bikes were everywhere. Most had two locks on them.... We were told bike theft is a problem in Amsterdam... Maybe because there are so many and so few cars.
Ok. Not going to pretend we know anything about this statue, but here it is for your viewing pleasure. (Anyone know?)
Snow sitting on "the couch"

The couch was all over town. Now with one cushion. If you see it in your travels please let us know.
When we booked our stay we read about a great hot breakfast that would be served. It was three pieces of bread, one hard boiled egg, one slice of week old cheese, butter and a lick of jelly. Thanx mum for the sazon!
Sazon makes even plain bread edible.

Snow. Smiling. It was raining out our last day in Amsterdam so we hung in.



Sumon having breakfast at the hostel in Amsterdam.



The painting on the wall. Yes people we picked this hostel in Amsterdam.



Ever wonder what the Moulin Rouge would be like in Amsterdam...



We know many of you have been wondering what could be on the other side of the glass in Amsterdam. These lovely "ladies" were standing in a window and were gracious enough to let us take a picture.




Sumon thinking.......



Snow: "I am over using my brain."



We know you are thinking "a picture of a couch?" When we first arrived at our hostel it was outside and well we figured it was there because of the 2am curfew. You know like they put it out there just in case you got locked out, but then after our adventure looking for the library we returned and there were no cushions!! Someone call in the detectives!!



Coffee? This stuff was so strong. Actually tasted like an espresso (possibly was a double because of how hyper Snow got. Just ask Sumon.




Looks like Snow found herself a man...



...and a new pair of shoes.



Wait those shoes are too big and are chained to the store.. hhmmm



Ambulance.




We were wondering if it was for a midget. What do you think?



Snow being funny on the terrace of the hostel.

I looked up info on that statue and here's the scoop:

"Gerbrand Adriaensz Bredero (March 16, 1585 - August 23, 1618) was a Dutch poet and playwright in the period known as the Dutch Golden Age." -- Wikipedia

Snowy-pooh, I hope you don't have a problem meeting your 45,000 calorie-per-day requirement in some of the more obscure (it's not politically correct to call them "backward") places you're visiting. The guys who refill the DSS vending machines don't come around nearly as often since you left!

Continue having a great time, and don't worry about us middle-aged working stiffs... we spend our free time in front of the computer living vicariously through people like you (er, among other things). :)

MARKY-POOH!

Much to my surprise you are infront of the computer! HHMM!!

So how are things with your life? Do tell, do tell.

As for me.. work... uumm... don't ever want to do something like that again. SSSOOOOO.. I will be back in school when I return from my travels. You know after I attend the graduation for the last degree.

As for the food situation... You will be happy to hear that Thailand was the easiest place to fill my belly. Pad thai from the street vendors was less than a dollar and for a bag full of grasshoppers and crickets I paid 30 cents. YUM!

Keep in touch.
