Amsterdam

A beautiful fall day was the backdrop to our exploration of Amsterdam on Sunday. For those of you that know Amsterdam don't worry we kept clear of the red light district. Rick and I remember walking through by ourselves, almost ten years ago, cringing at pictures of every body part imaginable pierced - among other things. I get enough inappropriate questions asked of me in public bathrooms by my three little ones without adding to their imaginations. Also I'm not sure we would be able to come up with a suitable answer to "why is that girl sitting in the window in her underwear talking to that man?" Although certainly entertaining, the red light district and coffe shops are not the only things to see in Amsterdam. We meandered through the narrow streets across bridges over picturesque canals. The kids loved watching the boats. For dinner we had one of the specialities of Holland, pancakes. Not your average breakfast pancake though, mine had sunflower seeds, mushrooms, cheese and onions cooked in the batter and a salad on top. Rick had a ham and cheese pancake. I can picture some of you going "eeewww" but honestly it was delicious.
