Amsterdam with a capital DAMN! This is just abut the coolest city in the world. I know a lot of you have been here, some of you have even lived here (a feat I can't imagine as I don't think half of our furniture would even fit through the doors of the houses here, let alone my fat-ass self). There is a bar every 20 feet (the tour guide said that was because the water in the canals was suspect and alcoholic beverages were relatively safe...whatever, pour me another). Here's something I didn't know: Some guy from here (I don't remember his name) from the West India Trading Company bought Manhatten for a string of beads (that part I remember from 5th grade) and named it New Amsterdam. I guess the British came along after that and named it after a drink I like. Anyway here are some pictures I took of Amsterdam and a really cool car I found outside a bar I was drinking at.
