Amsterdam
|
|
Most of the canals are lined with inhabited houseboats
|
Narrow streets call for tiny cars
|
|
...and bicycles...
|
|
Lots and lots of bicycles
|
and other creative modes of transportation.
|
|
The Royal Palace
|
We saw a lot of interesting graffiti
|
|
|
Definitely not in Kansas any more
|
The natives are friendly
|
Our hotel. It's hard to tell, but the building is 400 years old.
|
|
|
An original 400-year-old staircase inside the hotel

The hotel operates this classic canal tour boat once patronized by Winston Churchill

A wise man does not piss into the wind.
