Our first full day
Our first full day in the Netherlands, we took a train to Amsterdam. The city of course has many reputations. I had to convince Sylvia that we were actually in the "Red Light" district because it wasn't what she pictured. We were only there
Arnhem Bridge
The bridge that the alliest attempted unsuccessfully to capture during Market Garden in WWII.
in the afternoon however, I suspect it is a different place

shops though, which I expected. The city is known for its famous canals which circle the city and radiate outward from the center of town and away from the central train station, which is located near the seaport. We walked through the town to see famous points, including the Amsterdam Tulip Market, the red light district, and the Ann Frank house. I have experienced very few American tourists during my trips to Europe, probably because they don't go anywhere but Western Europe and I have never really been to Western Europe, partially for this reason.
