Some extra stuff from the trip to Europe.

Yes, these are leftovers 
that didn't get into other posts.


FACT:  There are more bikes in Amsterdam than people.

























Gabby, my girlfriend at the Bicycle Hotel in Amsterdam.


Some days I wish I was not colorblind so I could SEE what stuff looks like.
Then again, some days I'm OK being colorblind. 







The Bicycle Hotel, shown to the left



I was riding my bicycle on the next street over when I heard rippling raucous laughter coming down this narrow street.  I turned the corner and found these two cuties running toward me pushing a grocery cart.  After we passed each other I heard a tremendous crash, but the laughter never stopped.

Bicycles everywhere!  Bike lanes EVERYWHERE!







My bicycle, from the Bicycle Hotel, parked at the bakery. (note tripod)
















Another shot with Gabby my favorite girl in Amsterdam!


In Porto the wine cost less than $4 a bottle.  #TooMuch
Nephew Ryan and I out riding the rails.

My breakfast at the Bicycle Hotel.  A Bodenheimer Sandwich, a typical Dutch breakfast.
My lunch after the Van Gogh museum.  A bacon slider with a chocolate shake.

Thai restaurant Amsterdam 
My Ihop breakfast back in Tampa.  #FirstDayBack
At a bus stop in Porto, these 3 women got into an argument. The one on the right slapped the other.
Porto and Ryan cooked the Dourada fish.  A Portuguese favorite. (and mine)
Ryan and Bekki video conference with family.

A very busy intersection on the canals in Amsterdam.

Lots of color in the city.
Lots of 'view' at the beach!




It was a great visit and I thank everyone 
in Europe for putting up with me!
