Amsterdam

One of many canals in Amsterdam



The day after Christmas, we drove to Amsterdam. While there we visited the Rijkmuseum, the Van Gogh Museum, and the Anne Frank House. Here are a few photos from our trip.

Photos of bikes along the canal

Bikes are HUGE in Amsterdam. They are EVERYWHERE. Bike lanes were more dominant than sidewalks or roads. What I didn't see, was a lot of bike safety. Not one bike helmet. Not one bike trailer. Kids were on bike seats (not that those are bad, but without helmets,) both front and behind parents. I saw one man with a baby in a car seat attached to the back of his bike, while a toddler was riding in front of him. Someone else had a child in the seat behind them, and was just holding another child under his arm, while peddling. Dogs were in bike baskets, including a LAB!

Red light district (we had to walk through it once!)
