Thanks Mark! We visited a treehouse themed Koffieshop in Amsterdam. Quite an interesting Colorado-esque experience. Amsterdam is a great walking city and plenty of places to see around every corner. The pace is fast with bicycles everywhere, pedestrians everywhere, trams and buses zig-zaging through the city. We did not spend any time in the Red Light district other than passing through on the boat tour and getting lost near the Old Church. Lots of coffee shops (cafe') and sidewalk restaurants to stop and have a beer and wine. People watching is great but people don't sit still for very long. An Active and healthy lifestyle is apparent. A fairly diverse culture with authentic Asian and Indian restaurants.

The train form Amsterdam to Bruges, Belgium yesterday was quite an adventure. We planned on 2 trains but the first was cancelled less than halfway to Bruxelles. In the end we jumped on 4 trains to get to Bruges. A different, smaller city here. Nice beer and chocolate. More on that later...ciao 4 now.
