We spent the weekind in Amsterdam, Holland and other nearby towns. It was very beautiful!! We loved the tulips, windmills, canals, and how everyone rides their bikes to get around.

We were looking for a place to eat in downtown Amsterdam, Holland. It's hard to see in the picture, but it is VERY crowded. There are people all over the streets eating outside and this whole street is just lined with restaurants for several blocks. You can imagine, Saturday Night, LOTS of partying going on. We ended up at the "Pancake House" for some dutch crepes. The food was good, but we all smelled like a smokestack when we left. UGH.
This is downtown Amsterdam, Holland. You can see the little coach/bike thing that was pretty commom. I guess it's their version of a "truck" bicycle style. (You can carry a lot of stuff in it.) Behind the bike/coach thing is a group of "tipsy" college students dressed in red robes chanting I don't know what, but it was very interresting. (??????) The train is in the far back, and there are TONS of bikes everywhere.
These next pictures are in the tulip fields of a nearby town. They were absolutely stunning. The pictures below the tulips are of Amsterdam during the day.
