Around Amsterdam

So, I just got back from a long weekend break in Amsterdam. I flew in Friday night and met up with my friend Fal from Hoboken/NYC. Here are just a few of the beautiful sights we took in.

The adventure begins... couldn't have wished for a better day!

As you can see, this is my type of place!

The flowers aren't too shabby either... what variety they have!

All in all, it was a great 4 days: walking the canals, eating crepes, drinking hot chocolate to forget about the cold and rain, trying multiple dutch sweets, seeing Rembrandt and Van Gogh, visiting the very cool, interactive Jewish museum, and of course, time with Fal and breakfast with Becky!

PS: That was some of the highlights... I also had a bit of an accident, getting my foot stuck in a tram track as I was crossing the street. The tram was coming in the distance. I ended up busting my two knees and ankle, putting an ugly hole in my favorite corduroy pants. Health report: I will live, but I can't kneel right now.
