Amsterdam canal & bicycles |
We arrived in Amsterdam, which was unseasonably warm and beautifully sunny. We cruised the canals and wandered aimlessly down the narrow cobblestoned streets (i am SO glad i wore my Doc Martens; they're not stylish, but at least i can keep my balance), had coffee outside by the canal and smoked a cigar (well, i did; Betty-lou had a latte). Our hotel, the Hotel Brouwer, was beautifully charming and cozy.

Our hostel in Moscow (The Godzilla Hostel) is...well, it's no Hotel Brouwer, but it is clean and has all of the amenities we could need.

A couple of notes to specific people:
-Dale says:
- "John Josh, Anthony: i ran into someone from our class at the airport. He was en route to Paris."
- "Steve, it is 2 May and i am thinking of you in particular on this day."
- "Chris, thank you for letting me know what the soup of the day is on Granville Island. You're swell."
-Betty Lou says:
- "Dawn, we thought how much you would like Amsterdam - it reminded us of New Orleans."
- "Ron, I love you."
Da svidanya.
