AMSTERDAM!!!

Most people begin any good adventure in Amsterdam. The tulips are beautiful, clogs are nice, dutch women can ride bicycles with almost any amount of cargo loaded high, folks are friendly... well the list goes on. There is a really nice little hostel tucked just behind the red light district. We stayed there for many nights. In the mornings, you could get a really nice coffee and biscuit for a euro. The hostel keeps a really friendly atmosphere in the common room... which is also a bar. Great music is always playing, and they would often toss on a cd that we wanted to hear. The pic is of us at a great blues bar located in Leidsplein??? district (south end), its called the Waterhole. They played great music all night... there was some really great guitarin' happenin. Also great in that area, is another blues performance theater called Bourbon Street Blues. I've been there a couple times and when its packed, there is no better bar in the entire city.

It is definitely true that you can't mention Amsterdam without at
least making mention of the controversial issues. Prostitution and
soft drugs being legal absolutely makes Amsterdam a city like no other. For skeptics of these morals, I can say for certain that there is a sense of peace and beauty in the supposed city of sin.

We love you XXX
