6 photos for Amsterdam

Yes, six. I'm breaking the trend.

The last stop of our Easter trip was Amsterdam. Amsterdam is a weird, weird place. During the day it is a beautiful, calm city laced with canals and quaint squares. During the night it is filled with vomiting Italians and naked women. At all times the faint scent of marijuana smoke floats through the air from normal-seeming doorways. It's a beautiful city. It's a horrible city. It must be very interesting to be from Amsterdam.

We walked, sat in the sun, relaxed, toured a booze factory, ate, shopped, and walked some more. We also wandered into the darker parts of town to ogle and people watch the first night. (There were three facial expressions: drunk, horrified, amused.) It was a great trip.
