The Cow that Fell in the Canal (or: Sin City Adventures)

---

Hello from Amsterdam. Today we took yet ANOTHER walking tour. I think we've walked like 200km this trip. Both our knees and one achilles tendon need replacing. Hopefully with super robotic parts, intended for the space shuttle. It was very exciting for us to see not one but two lesbian couples making out during our tour. These were people on the tour by the way, not people on the street. One couple was clearly fake, we decided, as they were just getting a bit too excited about kissing. Overactors. Anyhow, if we don't get killed by a bicycle on this trip it will only be because the tram got us. They have the right of way over pedestrians, and there's lots of close calls. You can't hear the friggin' things coming! Oh, I should mention that the train ride here from Berlin was crazy - no seats available so we sat in the space between cars. Yep, right by the toilet. For 7 hours. Did you know there are 400 coffeshops in Amsterdam, that apparently don't really sell coffee? Something called "weed". Haven't heard of it, must have sprung up overnight. Anyways gang, if you guys ever want to come here, we're down for another trip. Tons to see, we saw the Van Gogh museum today, plus great scenery, hundreds of great places to eat for cheap, etc. etc. makes it seem like we didn't spend enough time here. And it's not seedy like you may think, there's a bunch of families, seniors, and kids wandering the streets, even the red light district. In conclusion: good times. Well, Renata and I are eating some space cakes now, see you in Paris.

It's a tourist trap, but still interesting
