Amsterdam

[Comet Hunter]

So my tavelogue continues with out visit to Ansterdam. I didn't know the city was known for is MANY canals, a few are shown.
Such a festive atmosphere. The weekend before we got there they had just celebrated their 750th birthday.

No shots are spectacular, just tried to capture the city's heart and trip memories

My wife got a big hand in this image.

Kinda looks out of focas here, but does show life in Amsterdam (most all are out of focas, all taken with my cell phone)

Although nothing special with this image below either except for we took a little canal ride which came with a bar and free drinks... this is what vacationing it all about right?

Royal Palace of the Netherlands

and just one picture of inside the royal palace

My favorite memory, this was our dinner view this day.

My wife and her daughter who just moved to the Netherlands in Jan for a 3 year contract.

I wish I had taken this at night. but this is the start of the famous "Red Light District" family friendly version lol

More canal shots.

Last one,

thanks for visiting my vacation time in Amsterdam. Next stop, Maastricht Netherlands where my step daughter actully lives.

Hey Ed,

These look great, I know I am enjoying seeing Amsterdam. While I know of it, I have never been there, so this is cool to give me a feel for what it's like. I didn't realize it had so many canals either. I knew it had canals, but nothing like this.
