As I mentioned before, I went to Amsterdam for a weekend trip. I arrived Friday morning, and left Sunday afternoon. Friday we spent wandering around, which I highly recommend, just to get a feel for the place. Amsterdam is beautiful, with its canals, houseboats, smorgasbord of architectural styles, and people riding bikes everywhere. It’s like a picturesque step back in time, except with modern bikes instead of penny farthings. And hella better clothes. People even uphold the absolutely adorable tradition of locking locks onto the canal bridges to commemorate their love. Sigh.
