Amsterdam


Let me start by saying that I love Amsterdam. It is one of the top 10 on my list. I been there many times before, but I cannot be in the Netherlands and not go to see it one more time.
As I left the train station, I walked toward the centre. After a few blocks, you turn left, and you are in the red district, with all the shops and windows and peek shows. One of the reasons I like the red district in Amsterdam, is that is so well organized, everything is under control. Most everything is legal, so there is no need to misbehave; there is no need for corruption. I can walk up and down by myself at any time of day or night and no feel apprehension or fear, and that is something you cannot do in many cities.
CS have a weekly meeting every Saturday from 21:30 to 3:00, however, I was unable to attend because  the last train is at 23.17 and there is no other one until the next morning. Let us face it, if I am up until 3am. at least, I will never get up to take the first train, and I cannot leave the pets without going out or without food for that long, after all the reason I am here is to house sit, not to party. Therefore, no CS meeting for me.
After the red district I walked to the Dom, and the Van Gogh museum, I did not go in because I been there before, but it’s such a nice walk, I did it again anyway.

               Men have it easy here. Do I need to say more???
