Amsterdam How I Feel You






Memories fill my mind of the fun travels I've had. I took this picture from a side of a building and honestly the color blue always speaks to me. The canals were so beautiful and all the bike trails were awesome but you had to pay attention. We ended up on one of those paddle boats and in the wrong canal but we finally made it back. Once I start laughing it gets dangerous when I'm driving. Who is the we? One of my dear friends, now living in Africa, gave me so many great experiences in Europe and I really hope to one day join her in her home to see where she is from. I miss her so I go through my pictures and have to relive our excursions. Thanks Chantal! I miss you. I will find a picture of the infamous Chantal and add more.
I think Amsterdam was my favorite city that I've visited. Paris would be a strong contender if I had not gotten sooo sick on that trip and missed so much of it. I loved Switzerland because of the beautiful countryside and hiking.
During our trip to Amsterdam, we went to a theater that was some kind of old. It was beautiful and we snuck in from the rain and caught a movie with Dutch, French & English. We walked that city so many times and it was pretty easy to get around. There were some beautiful women working and many coffee houses but nothing too extreme but of course I was only in the red light district during the day.
