"I Am"sterdam

While the main star of this trip to Amsterdam was the tulips, I did again enjoy the uniqueness of the centuries old city and the beauty of the quaint countryside. I can't help but be enchanted by the slanted buildings, the curved bridges over still canals, the ring of bicycles whizzing by...something about the foreign air feels more authentic, and it's nice to breathe it in.

House boats and trees line most every canal.

I think the "I am"sterdam campaign is so clever! In Museumplien behind the Riksmuseum.

And even more clever..."r" for Rebecca and "d" for Damion!


The towers of the Westerkerk - or the West Church - so beautiful on a spring day. Even more beautiful are the sounds of the church bells ringing into the sky.


What a wonderful place to eat outside! Restaurant In de Waag, the old weigh station turned fantastic restaurant.


Castle-seeing in Dieren: in front of Kasteel Biljoen, complete with a moat and "princess" turrets!


Relaxing canal-side in Amsterdam.


Enjoying a dutch house party - they have 'em just like we Americans do!
