Damn Bikes!!!

Amsterdam Bikes that is. I was Amazed at how many bikes I saw in Amsterdam. There is actually a separate path for bikes next to the street for them to ride on. And all to often did I, and many other tourists, take the liberty of walking in this path with the bikes and then realize that was a Very Very bad idea.

This shot was of the outside of a three level parking garage for bicycles. As you see, bikes take up nearly every portion of the frame.




I don't know these people at all. Just a randon shot with my CoolPix. But thought it was funny that the smiling biker had a Massachusetts shirt on. Does anyone know this guy, lol??

I AMSTERDAM

After a week in Scotland, we have made it to Amsterdam. And what an Amazing city! Basically it is the "Venice" of the north. It is such a colorful and architecturally rich city. The Dutch are extremely friendly, the city is hip with a cozy "gezelligheid" vibe. Canals and bridges are everywhere. So are coffee shops, bars, and restaurants on every corner. Bikes...never seen so many in my life. Even the women ride them to work in high heels. This city is a definitely one to put on your "must see" list!
