Day One - Amsterdam

Taking snaps out the front window on our way to Amsterdam. We were impressed at the car pulling the large boat I guess.

View from our apartment window.

More window view. This parking lot was full on Saturday with their weekly Organic Outdoor Market. It was great, soooo many types of great fresh foods. We bought dried strawberries that were "to die for" as well as other goodies.


More view panning to the right. The corner area are pubs.

Standard parking lot for Amsterdam, no cars but thousands of bicycles and scooters own this city. It was crazy because you can't hear the silent transportation coming at you, watch out! They have their own lanes for travel seperate from the cars too, it was really cool and I wish there was a place like this in the states. The city of Amsterdam itself of course is built with tons of canals and is below sea level.





Looking up the staircase where our apartment was located. It was a dive apartment but the location and view was perfect. We had the top floor of this house.
More pictures of Amsterdam later.
