Ry is in heaven and although I have been here before, I love the fact that I am sharing this with him!  We settle into a rented studio and meet the owner Hans, it is cute and perfect for a true Dutch experience.



The canals are beautiful, the smoke filled shops are exciting and new, the experience turns out to be really funny.  We eat brownies and I can't feel my legs and somehow I miss a day in between...apparently we slept through 1 day, but i just think we can't remember.
We rent bikes and decide to live like the locals, shopping at the local market, getting flowers and riding around town enjoying all that it has to offer.

Of course 1 day, Ry and I get into a little argument, where I proceed to storm off, then get lost, thinking he is following me to apologize..but really he isn't and I end up in the dodgy red light district....seeing windows full of dirty fat girls in barely anything!  I get totally lost, but somehow we reunite at a Zara store..thank god he found me!!!
Funny enough Ry did everything but see the Red Light District!  We had a wonderful time, but now it was off to Spain to use a free night at a hotel we had and see what it was all about!

Amsterdam ...love is in the air...MaryjanE!

Paris cannot beat <a href="http://www.hotelbooklet.com/city/Amsterdam.html" target="&quot;_blank&quot;">Amsterdam</a> with it's cold beauty. Amsterdam is my favorite city in Europe. It is always exciting to be there.
