Amsterdam just has a very cool look and feel to it
Lots of horse carriages in this city, almost got run over a couple of times
Churches here have very tall, epic-looking steeples
Lots of little farmer's markets going on in the various squares located throughout the city
Rivers and canals run throughout the entire city
The Amsterdam Royal Palace, which sits in the middle of a massive city square
Amazing Dutch panckes - talk about a friggin' big pancake
Another cool little city square - lots of hustle & bustle in these squares
The tram can get you to just about anywhere in the city
Spent several hours in the Van Gogh museum: absolutely amazing place to get your Van Gogh fix
Also managed to make it over to the Heineken Factory - had to sneak in just as they were closing
Wandering around the factory
While I'm not personally a big fan of Heineken, the beer tasted pretty damn good straight from the factory
Another really cool looking building: the general designs were really eye-catching here
Best damn pancakes in the city here in this little pancake house on the 1st floor
Took a tour of Anne Frank's house as well: this was intense
Anne Frank's real diary
Just outside of Anne Frank's house. I was really far-removed from this whole thing when I read the book in high-school, but there was an indescribable impact to seeing just how "real" this all was by physically being there.
Another beautiful little canal running through the city
Also stopped by the Rembrandt house
The detail of these original sketches was amazing to look at, I could have stared at these for hours
