Day Trip To Amsterdam

I told the steps are crazy steep.

Market day in Leiden.  Vendors are lined up along the canal as far as you can see

 The Seagulls have a lot of action on market day too

 Angry Bird treats.  Some things are so universal

and fresh flowers for sale everywhere

 Diana and Judith think about a new purse

the other side of the canal

 Dave and Diana strop for a quick pix

Everyone has a bike.  The Dutch are thin, tall, and fit!  And bikes are zooming everywhere.  watch out!

 At the Leiden train station

 waiting for the train to Amsterdam.  And Diana finally with her Coke Lite

Made it here but it starts to rain.

a quick pix by the art museum

 couldn't convince the others to check this one out

 This looks like trouble. 

 Tapas Bar for lunch and get out of the rain.  A nice break.

Another great building

 The city center and people everywhere.   Sun is finally out for a while

 had to take the Heineken Experience

I told you the Dutch are tall.  The guys behind Diana must be 6-6.

 finally a chance to sample the beer. 

Diana and Cole heading back to the trains

 a block of gorgeous mansions

 The new Amsterdam Apple Store.  some things are just like the US.

at the city square

 finally on the bus back to the trains.   Cole wants to get back to Leiden to see the big soccer match.

We hooked back up with Jessica and Steve at "Church" to watch the big game. Steve looks good considering the last time I saw him.

 The big game.  Madrid wins over Barcelona 2-1.

 A final game of pool to end the night

 Judith shows her talent for cut-throat

I am just happy to still be standing after a day walking around Amsterdam

heading to Paris tomorrow.  If Dave and Diana can still walk.
