Amsterdammers

Windmills spinning in the backdrop of colorful tulip fields, little girls running around in wooden clogs, and huge cheese circulars are some iconic images that come to mind when people think of Holland. Its capital city Amsterdam however, holds a less than modest reputation, famous for its Red Light District and pragmatic outlook on drugs. But during our trip to Amsterdam over Spring Bank Holiday (or Memorial Day weekend :), we found Amsterdam to be nothing short of splendid!

I don't even know where to start writing... mainly because it was 2 weekends ago, so I barely remember (and no, I wasn't smoking... or "eating" :) Just know that I love Amsterdam so much, I'd move there if someone gave me a job! I know I almost always say this when I travel, but seriously, the people there (Amsterdammers) are lovely! I love the people, I love the food, I love the culture! I think I'm gonna' move there one day (Michael's coming too)... in the meantime, here are some pictures for you to see how enchanting Amsterdam is!.. although pictures really don't do it any justice.
