Days 27-29 - Amsterdam photos

Here's the pictures. I hope you like them!

 Ready to go!
 The first sight of Amsterdam
 The Centraal station we came out of
 A cute canal and the buildings around it
 Where we ate
 Look at the lights!!
 It's so pretty at night!
 Start of the 'fred' light district (Fake red light district)
 There's a Durty Nelly's there! Now I've been to two!
 Chickens around our cabin
 No big, just a nice church
 Enjoying our lunch in the cafe
 A real bagpiper!
 Around Dam square
 The central piece of the square
 Look how happy we are in front of the cairrage
 This is a shopping place...SHOPPING! A CHURCH/CASTLE! No big
 Anne Frank statue
 I just really like this picture
 The Rijksmuseum (yes, all one word)
 More detail of the front
 Just above the entrance tunnel
 Diana/Artemis depending on the religion/era
 Cool chess set
 A Genealogy of Royalty
 This is a prayer nut, all carved from one nut, completely zoomed in
 See the nut on the right? All these were carved from wood
 In the special exhibits
 So many model ships!
 Look at how pretty the clothes are
 A huge mirror, I'm probably 30 feet away at this point
 The LIBRARY!! It's glorious!!
 Look how many books it has! All antiques too!
 For some scale, the hull comes up to just below my chin (about 5 feet high)
 These European countries have such ornate crests
 See the things on 'msterd'? those are tall boys
 I amsterdam with less people in the way
 Self explanitory
 This was a neat little view
Having fun in the pub waiting for the train.
We took turns reading the menu in different accents. One of my favorite memories of the trip.

And that is Amsterdam! I'm glad that I went, but I don't think I'd like to go back, once was quite enough.
