Even the graffiti in Amsterdam is charming. This was the first picture I took in the city.
I can't explain this. I was watching out for bikes but I wasn't expected a hoard of rollerbladers. They came out of nowhere and then they were gone. Just like that.
One of my favorite things to do is watch outdoor movies. We caught Rear Window the first night in Vondelpark with a blanket and picnic spread, wine and all. Another outdoor favorite- eating!
Subtitles in Dutch! We kept laughing before everyone else.
For those who've never been to Amsterdam, this is their association. For a newbie, I didn't see the big deal. I just ended up cotton mouthed and had to calm down my at first chatty, then paranoid friend.
and the music! I caught the train to Haarlem for the Jazz Festival. I think I am a Jazz Festival junkie. Montreal is my favorite. But have yet to go to New Orleans.
World famous jazz club- Cafe Alto. No wonder I loved Amsterdam. So many favorite things in one trip.

Beautiful Amsterdam
My first time in Amsterdam and I can't believe I waited so long. I loved it immediately!
So warm, inviting, and so colorful... The people, the weather, the scenery...
I love it that you can travel anywhere you need to go by bike. Though it's not so fun when you're a pedestrian. I don't know how many times I almost got run over by a bike.
or you can travel by canoe! The canals were breathtaking.
