One of the many canals.
A stream in Vondlepark, the hippie park.
Another of the many canals of Amsterdam at dusk.
A pirate ship! ....Maybe.
And this is how you look after you come out of one of Amsterdams famous coffee shops!Wow! Amsterdam! What can I say? What an awesome place, it is bizarre!! No doubt you have heard about the notorious red light district with its window girls and the dutch's tolerant approach to Marijuana, despite all that I found Amsterdam to be such a romantic place. There are many beautiful canals and architecture, there is a wonderful feeling of happiness and warmth in the air and the people are so kind and lovely.
There are lots of interesting buildings lining the streets and canals that oddly lean in all sorts of directions due to the fact the city is built on a swamp and they have resided over time. There is much culture there, many artist and you will often walk past a hazy coffee shop and here the strumming of a guitar and the voice of a long haired reefer smoking hippie. There are stoned cats all over the place! Thats right, I said stoned cats, they also like to go to the coffee shops and do funny things!! :)
There is a beautiful park called the Vondlepark. In the 60's when the many hippies flocked to Amsterdam, the Dutch let them live in the park so they would have their own area, you can still see many around today.
They make wonderful cheese, beer and funny clogs that are worn buy the farmers in the fields. The population of Amsterdam which is the Capital and largest city in The Netherlands is around 1 million. Lots of people ride bikes, and I mean like 1 million of them!
