yay amsterdam!

My buddy Irene and I took a quick weekend jaunt to Amsterdam the weekend after my birthday in June. Despite some nasty cold I came down with the day of the trip and massively annoying flight delays, we managed to have a wonderful (and way too brief!) time. Seriously I wish we had a photo to capture the amount of freakin bikes in this city! They rule the road.-I actually saw a bike push a car over in the lane. Cars regularly make way for cycles. Wow. A city full of bikes and boats and water and canals...very cool. And drunk, wasted travelers and men drooling over half-naked 18 year olds in windows...not as cool. All in all: a very eclectic city with character. I approve.
