and a lot of pictures from

Amsterdam!

Here is the scene just outside the central train station in AmsterdamI thought they had a lot of bicycles parked outside the station until I saw this quadruple decker bicycle parking lotFamily by a canalAmsterdam had a lot of funky vehicles. This one was a motorcycle back end with a flat bed on the front with a fur lined box, perhaps for a loved animal companion.Family with more canalsCrowded outdoor cafe on a warm spring afternoonThe triangular dock-like structure is the Homomonument, originally built to honor gays killed in WWII, but it now also memorializes those who have died of AIDS, and captures Amsterdam's openness and tolerance nicelyFamily on a bridge over a canal being watched by a creepy bridge creatureFamily with canalSomething we'll never see in the US, a Mac nextdoor to a Sex Shop (featureing non-stop videos!!)Hey look, National Geographic is in town. No, wait a minute, that's not.....Houses in Amsterdam were taxed according to their width. This one must have been a bargain.After being unable to find public restrooms in Paris, I was relieved to find them available on the streets of AmsterdamView from our hotel roomHey, nice taxiSurprised Finn on the trainHappy Finn on the train
