You ever seen the Rijksmuseum?........

Okay, that simply devolved into movie quotes at the end. The point is, writing this blog for a mixed audience presents quite a challenge! And honestly, on the angel/devil scale, we were pretty tame in Amsterdam (though Ben undoubtedly brought our average up). Certainly zero Euros were exchanged with prostitutes, though I did get several window taps as we strolled through the touristy Red Light District. I guess you have to take your ego boosts where you can get them. "Hey. That man is less hideous and creepy than many walking through here, perhaps I'll give him a knock in hopes he fancies a journey into my sad little room/cage." However, a "space muffin" may or may not have accidentally gotten too close to one of our mouths and been eaten by it's own fault. This led to the discovery of Van Gogh's secret. Nice ruse Vincent, nice ruse.

Even without the controversially legal "vices" available, Amsterdam would be a very cool place. We lost hours just exploring the shops and bars and restaurants along the maze of canals. No city on Earth boasts better people watching. We cruised the canal in a boat, walked around the Van Gogh museum, and then I ended my time in mainland Europe with a 3 hour bike ride to see a real windmill. Worth it! Not really, but still was a nice cap to my time in Holland. 

Ben and I part ways now as I'm on to Scotland to attempt the Great Glen Way, and then spend a few days in London before returning to the states. Looking forward to seeing many of you, and would be happy to provide elaboration on aspects of this post over beers or steak. Cheers!
