"Live and Get Live" in Amsterdam!

Amsterdam is the home of beautiful canals, biking through the city, Van Gogh museum, Heineken Brewery, Dam square, Anne Frank House, Red Light District, and Coffee shops galore. This was one of our favorite cities we have been to since we have been traveling throughout Europe. We don't have a lot of comparison yet but it was definitely at the top of our list. Certain parts were quite interesting (red light district, coffee houses) but we could not leave without experiencing the whole city. I would say our favorite part of the trip was renting bikes and riding around the city all day...well besides the fact that we could not sit down the next day...Ha!
















We enjoyed our first night hanging out with some friends that were on the tail end of their honeymoon!























Tony getting geared up and ready to take off. I kinda forgot how to ride a bike when i first got on...its been awhile!























This was the beginning of the Heineken tour so we figured we should do it....don't we look cool!



























































Tony mixing the barley and water!

















Of coarse we had to scope out the place for a Mexican restaurant...we succeeded!
















The canal tour was one of my favorite things to do....we got free cheese and wine!























Tony at the Bulldog Coffee Shop!

















The city is beautiful with tons of canals and cute buildings!





































We rode all over the city and luckily did not get hurt along the way but there were definitely some close calls.


We ate at a great restaurant the last night called the Ostrich! Tried ostrich steak for the first time...very delicious!

We had such an amazing time and recommend everyone go see it!
