I had been planning my stay in Amsterdam for months because I wanted to be there for gay pride. All in all it is a beautiful gorgeous city, but now let me get to the details of the 5 great nights in Amsterdam! It seemed as though at every few blocks a public park was there and all the canals and streets were lined up with trees. The other thing I loved was even though it’s a city you will find so much nature everywhere. As you wander around the town you have to remember that bikes are everywhere and watch out for them and stay out of their lane. I loved it, but did think that bikes where going to be the death of me while I was there. The way the city is designed is just amazing you can literally get anywhere in the city by bike. Amsterdam is a city filled with bikes, canals, boats, trees and beautiful homes lined all along. This picture captures the essence of Amsterdam.
