Amsterdam

Amsterdam is the most unusual city we have ever visited. Filled with 300-year-old buildings slowly sinking into the sidewalks, and streets that have more bicycles than cars, it can be a challenge to navigate its twists and turns on foot, particularly when trying to distinguish between its roughly 2500 bridges. 

Despite its reputation for legal marijuana, we only crossed paths with one pair of brothers that seemed to be under its influence. We enjoyed its food and explored its art and history.
