I managed to drag Dean over 8 miles of walking in Amsterdam, and the weather was fairly decent. We used the Rick Steves Guide and saw quite a bit of the city. One of the highlights was the flower market. There are so many bulbs to buy, not just tulips but amaryllis, hyacinths, and other flowers. One of the lowlights was an outdoor pickled herring stand -phew! We also took the RedLight District Tour. Yes, we saw the girls in the windows. Most of them are chunky and either bored or sad looking. Again, the focus on weed and sex. Not that I am a prude, but I use don’t get it. Personally, I am looking forward to dinner tonight. Since the Dutch had a presence in Indonesia, we plan to have and Indonesian dinner. Tomorrow we head for home.
