Most of the pictures that we took has some kind of interesting side story behind it.

Actually i loved lisa bristow's itinerary when she did Amsterdam a few months back...looking at their albums, i just marvel at all the things they did!! They took the tram all over Amsterdam, did all the museums, parks etc., walked every neighborhood, and then trained it to parts of Holland! i kinda wanted to do that cuz im always intrigued about learning the history/culture behind a country...like Volendam and Edam for their quaint lil houses/towns and cheesemaking and traditional garb if ur into that sort of thing, I really wanted to hit up Rotterdam for the modern architecture within the city (im def a city/landscape and architectural photography enthusiast), and Utretcht -- well besides that being the site where TE is regularly held, well its an university town in itself and supposedly has its own unique structure of canals etc. And ack to have had the TIME to do a self BIKE tour in any of those lil regions omg well maybe next time -- itll probably be better too as we will be much more fit to ride by then, my endurance still needs improvement.


btw have you gotten a camera of ur own yet? i know u were saying u might get one

im so excited for u guys...theres nothing like the FIRST time travelling and discovering a region.

The shopping is ridiculous in A-Dam. I remember seeing like 300 pair of shoes I wanted and none of them ever made it to the US. Def didn't have enough money for shopping but next time I go I'll be sure to set some aside. Also make sure you hit up the red light district for the sex shows and hookers.

^^ Kelly, If you like art I highly recommend the Rijks Museum for the Vermeers alone. Once you've gone all "Girl with a Pearl Earring" then check out the VanGough Museum. Once you've gone all "Dude with no ear" then check out the amazing weekly fleamarket. You'll find some amazing stuff. Time Out makes a really good Amsterdam guide. For all of those non-coffee shop moments, but be sure to have plenty of those!

omg TELL me about it...it took awhile for us to navigate and walk thru those districts we thought it would never end!!! from small boutiques on the sidestreets to the dept stores like H&M on the main streets. and each shopping area/neighborhood definitely had its own vibe too. Not to mention the flea markets here and there, and the floating flower market (ive never seen so many types of tulips all in one place!).

If your adventurous enough, make sure you hit up a herring stand for a herring sammich since it is the only thing that is prolly original in amsterdam

lol c'mon, this is me you are talking to.....this red light is a given hehe

sheila: we are def hitting up van gough thanks for the other tips I <3 fle markets, we are def going there!

Lyssa: haha I would love to do what cale and lisa did, but they were there for a couple months lol ahhhh I wish I had the time and money!! I only get 6 weeks off from work a year, so I wouldnt be able to do that even if I never took a sick day OR a holiday!! lol Anyways, I MAY be getting a camera for x-mas. My parents have essentially let me know that they are buying me one or getting me a big gift certificate to like...say...best buy or whatever, because they know thats what I want. I wont be getting anything big like yours, but I will be getting a more than decent camera at some point I cant wait!!
