Today looks to be sunny and 70 beautiful degrees for their only full day in Amsterdam. I am sure they have been busy enjoying the sites all day today!
I was doing some reading this morning and am now putting Amsterdam on my must see list. I girl I worked with a while back, who was very well traveled, said that Amsterdam was her favorite place & I think I am starting to see why.
Amsterdam is rich in culture and history. From Van Gogh & Rembrant to the Red Light District it appears there is something for everyone! The beautiful canal & all it's bridges look amazing. (For someone who isn't fond of water or bridges that is a bit of a shock) They have at least 4 HUGE libraries and tons of reading rooms all over the city. The libraries look old and architecturally beautiful. There are so many museums I could be happy for days and days. Not to mention the fabulous open air markets! (now THAT is my kind of shopping!) Did you know that they sell 20 million flowers a day at the Flower Auction? I didn't even know they HAD flower auctions! And getting back to the Red Light District.....they actually give tours of it and you really can get anything you want, you just might have to let them know in advance......
At any rate, Amsterdam is making my list. It no longer just resembles tulip & windmills. Although I'm really okay with just both of those things.
