Amsterdam!

Hi All,

Amsterdam is a real hoot! Plenty to see and do!

We met this Canadian woman at dinner and chatted with her for a long time (I love chatting up people. Always making traveling friends :>)

Yesterday we walked around and explored the city and then took a candlelight wine and cheese tour of the cities canals. What a great way to see the city! I highly recommend it to anyone that will be traveling here. Another funny mishap happened...I was leaning to the middle of the table intent of taking a picture of something off the side of the boat when I heard a sizzle followed by burning haif haha I burnt some of my hair when I leaned to close to the candle. Oh Lord" as Douglas would say. haha You can always count on me to do something stupid! :)

After the boat tour we walked around the famous Red Light District and looked at all of the prositutes in the windows while the aroma of pot filled the streets. It was so funny hearing the comments from the young men...particularly young American men. Comments like "Dude, I'd like to do them all!"

Well, I hate to tell him, but I can spot a tranny at 20 paces and about 1/3 of those chicks had dicks. but I'll let him have his fantasy. A little exploration is always good. :)

Today, it has ben raining all day but we didn't let that stop us. We went to the Ann Frank House. How very interesting and depressing at the same time. I only read parts of the book when I was younger so I bought a special copy at the museum.

So sad she had to live like that only to be caught and die in a concentration camp.

After the Ann Frank House we hit the main shopping area...

Now, my suitcase is very full and very heavy. I fear it is over the weight limit to put on the plane. What can I do about it? Well, but something I can carry on that holds a lot of the heavy stuff. Yup that's right. After just bashing them I bought myself a man purse. But since I own it now, I'll refer to it as a shoulder bag. :) haha

Hey I need it for the plane. Will I carry it around town? Nah. Not for the fact that I still think it's girly (Hell, I always do my own thing anyway) but I just don't carry anything with me really. Just my wallet and cell phone.

My body is shutting down now from always being on the go. My clothes smell like smoke (and thats just from second hand smoke!). That's one thing I love about living in L.A. no icky smoke everywhere.
I suppose that's a post for another time, when I get back, but even though I loved this vacation, I have found a new love for L.A. and really can't see myself living anywhere else. We have it all back home! I will also go into how I am going to make some more minor changes in my life when I return.

I suspect this will be my last post until I am home in the arms of Dizzy, Doodle and close friends.

Take care all!

Love,
Eric
