Amsterdam is sure a friendly place. The people are all very helpful and friendly. And there is water everywhere. Most directions involve how many bridges you go over before you turn. For all the times I have passed through the airport it is about time I got into the City and was what it was all about.
The Netherlands, team color orange, was playing in the EuroCup Football on Friday night - soccer would be the American word. So the whole town was colored orange - including most of the people. The bars and pubs were full and with so many outside spots with every goal the City went into a mutal roar. They won and it was an exciting evening all over the City celebrating their move to the next round.
I also went to a lovely party in a village outside the city on Saturday night. Again, very friendly and gracious people. And 3 tired teenagers who were very lucky to be in the stadium for the big game the night before - but they worked very hard at their waiter duties for the evening. I think it was the hope of the big tip from Mom!
