Amsterdam Memories

My wife and I used to make frequent visits to Amsterdam to enjoy the freedom regarding cannabis and other aspects of this beautiful city. Please check out my video of our 2002 trip.

3. i did too! In fact a guy stood on the square in front of the train..

..station and completely disrobed..of course a crowd gathered to observe the situation, also a couple of police who were VERY patient and polite to him. They talked with him and then they helped him get dressed...cant remember what happened after that.. we dispersed. But the cops werent afraid of the subject either. The respect goes both way there. So refreshing. We too did the torture museum and the SEX Museum!

5. youre welcome. This guy was obviously impaired in some manner...so they may have taken..

...him in somewhere for help, housing etc. But they got him help and didnt shoot him.

I love that city. We have only been twice but what I loved the most was the FOOD and all the flowers for sale in bins on the sidewalk. And watching them dredge bikes from the canal. Did you see Anne Franks house? We stayed at the Canal house once.. just a short walk from there..and the Rainbow Warrior was..docked moored, parked..nearby too. Being there as often as you were you probably have seen all the cool things!

Its one city I would return to..its like a safe New Orleans. Thank you for sharing this vid, I loved remembering Amsterdam.

I may open my bottle of BOLS today!

ps just checked out your other vid with the train ride.. beautiful country. I wont go to Grand Canyon tho lol.. scared of heights!
