Pictures

We've had a heck of a time uploading pics to the blog. However, I've just managed to upload pics to my MySpace.

Follow this link to my MySpace page and select "Pics" then go to the "Amsterdam" photo album. We will post more pics later. We want to get to smokin for now. :-)

Not much to report, we've kinda taken it easy the past two days. Yesterday we walked all around the south end of town. We tried going to the Van Gogh museum but the line was for days so we scrapped that idea, searched the town for Thai, found it, ate, then went over to the Heineken Brewery which was AWESOME!! We got to learn all about beer and the Heineken family, we got to take a ride to see what it was like to be a beer bottle. Then we got to drink a beer (part of the admission), then we got to tool around some more, ride on a horse coach (virtually of course) then we got to watch all the Heineken adds since 1955. Then we got to drink two more beers, spend money in the gift shop, and get our free gifts. It was after five by the time we got done so we hopped on a pedal bike for the water and went up and down the canals. We even did a doughnut in our pimped out ride. It was less than exhilarating.

Amy talked about today below. And now we are off to go smoke some specialness, drink some tea and coffee and just relax. Debouchery to commence tomorrow in the RLD.

The next few days will be dedicated to a museum and canal day, a bicycle to the windmills day, then a shopping and botanical gardens day. As for the nightlife, who knows. Definitely the RLD and some more drinking. Though I think I'm about to turn into a Heineken beer I've had so much.

Birfffffday

It's my birthday. I'm officially an old lady now.

25!!!!

We had grand plans for the day. Unfortunately, the big man in the sky apparently did not want the plans to commence as it spewed cold rain all day. We tried to make the most of it - went to the flower market, did some shopping, went to the medievel torture museum and watched how wenches got their nipples pinched off...

I don't know about Crystal, but after all the hard partying of the last two days, I was WORN out. So we had a birthday nap. And now we are off to have a birthday blunt and a cup o'tea.

Tomorrow we are off to the Amstel Botel http://amstelbotel.nl! We will be right around the corner from the Red Light District - yay whores!!!
