That we also made a trip to Amsterdam in the last few months? We're just traveling fiends in the winter.
Yep, yep. Amsterdam. Although for a square like me I don't know if it is as exciting as it would be for other people. nudge, nudge.
We tried out
airbnb for the first time on this trip and it was a good experience. We were in a great location and a typical Amsterdam home. Check out the stairs!
If you haven't tried airbnb you should give it a whirl. You can rent a private space and not just a room and many of the locations are much better than some hotels. So enough advertising, but here's a picture of me in the place we stayed at as well as a view from our window.
Do you know what they have a lot of in Amsterdam? Bikes! Tons. I mean you hear that people bike in Amsterdam but the sheer number of bikes all over town is INSANE.
And do you know what drunk danish people do? Throw bikes into the canals. So many bikes that the government has to organize canal clean up or boats would get caught on all the bikes.

So that is what I learned in Amsterdam. To get drunk and throw bikes in the canals. And that
Stroopwafels are yummy. And that I miss
sushi. And that I could live in Amsterdam.

| Ahhh! We're in Amsterdam! |
Nice! I remember the bikes. Gene and Allen kept having to yank me out of the bike lane because I would keep wandering into it accidentally while we were walking. They will run you down, woman!
ReplyDeletelove Amsterdam! and so much Asian food (random). I had sushi twice when we were there for four days. You should move there. Erik would visit ALL the time.
ReplyDeletemaybe it's because holland used to have their dutch empire in asia and brought back a lot of food and colonists through that? they had a big colony in japan is what i know about them.
