From Amsterdam with Love.

I landed - JET LAGGED - on Thursday 7:37am in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.  Spent Thur-Sat riding a bicycle around Amsterdam amazed at all the canals and bicycle traffic.  (if you have not seen it, then you have not seen it.  It's a waterlogged bicycle city built below sea level and webbed with canals.)  *To reiterate - Amsterdam is The City of Bicycles!

A very photogenic German couple i met out strolling.
The Bulldog Coffee House.  ("a Cafe is a restaurant, a coffee house is a hash bar.")

One of the millions of cyclists in Amsterdam

My bicycle track around Amsterdam.  (yes i got lost, often)
Everywhere was clearly marked with nice signage.  I just couldnt read them.
Now, where am I?
