Amsterdam in February


Amsterdam was beautiful, strange, and cold. Canals at night provided an interesting contrast to the shop windows in the red light section.


Wandering and seeing the canals in 34 degree Fahrenheit weather was a good activity; spending hours in the warmth of the Museum of History an even better one. I've seldom found a museum so worth going through slowly....


Yes. There was a little craziness. Who can go to Amsterdam and not indulge? My drug of choice was, boringly enough, a couple glasses of wine. After all, I was on my way to the U.S.


Still, Amsterdam and its illusions were fun to experience, even tamely, thanks to the good company and 'leaving Deutchland support' from my friend Marion.
