It has been WAY to long since I’ve done a post on Chris and my 2010 summer backpacking around Europe. I’m getting close to the end of our trip, but still have Belgium and France to cover. Today I’m giving you a mini-tour of the charming streets of Amsterdam, undoubtedly one of the most popular destinations in Europe. The brick row homes are really beautiful, although so many look like they are leaning against their neighbor or about to topple into the canal. The canals are packed with house boats, and the stone streets with cyclists.
Just a typical city street…
Can you imagine living in a house on such a slant? Even with the leaning they are beautiful!
Like most European cities, eating outside at a cafe is the norm.
The food in Amsterdam was also superb. Make sure to try the pancakes!
Hope you enjoyed this little tour!
Thanks to wonderful future hubby for all of the fantastic photography he did during our trip!
