Amsterdam

Well, it was all I cracked it up to be. We went to Amsterdam and on the way I had food items of note: (see pics below). Once in Amsterdam, we took a canal cruise tour and then went to the Van Gogh museum. I learned that you pronounce his "Van Goff" and about his struggle as a painter. But even more importantly I put an end to a week old, internal struggle: the quest for public tap water. I had to travel all the way to Amsterdam in order to find the oasis in the desert (see pic below). I knelt down to it and began praying; praying to the water gods for allowing me to realize how much they do for me.

In our little tour thingy, we found out that all Amsterdam houses have this support beam sticking out of it for hoisting objects up to the higher building stories because the stairs are too narrow to carry up anything big.

I check out tomorrow from the great NH. I say good night to you, NH.
