Day one of our tour finds us in beautiful Amsterdam. Today Amsterdam puts her best foot forward with wonderful, summer-San Francisco-like weather. It is indeed a city interlaced with canals and alive with bicycles. The areas we've seen are picturesque low-rise retail and residential buildings punctuated with the majestic church or museum or other public building. Lots of interesting restaurants (Italian, Indonesian, Chinese, Indian, Greek, often all on the same block) and small shops. A great city to explore.
The Timberwolves gather for ths first time for this tour this afternoon for a canal tour. Just like in SF, the winds are starting to pick up so it will likely be cool on the water. Then a tour-opening dinner. That is, if we can keep our eyes open. Our bodies are still under the impression that we are on Pacific Time, after all. Or in other words, during our 7pm dinner that part of our brain that remembers such things will still be saying, "what are you doing, trying to stay up 26 hours in a row?"
P.S. I wouldn't recommend clicking through either of these pictures unless you have a fast Internet connection. The file size is huge, like 4 MB each. These are the original files from my camera since I haven't figured out how to reduce the resolution before uploading the pix to the Internet.
