Amsterdam, Holland
July 23-26, 1999


I visited the famed liberal Amsterdam to see friends I met while hiking the Inca trail in Peru, Chris and Sabine (referred to in the South American journals as the "Dutch Girls")... A friend from Sweden, Magnus, also came into town and we partied for the entire weekend... The girls are excellent tour guides and quite a bit of fun -- and they're single, so if any of you in cyberland are interested, drop me a note and I'll see if I can hook you up...


Here are the Dutch Girls hiking the Inca Trail in Peru when I met them September, 1998... If you haven't read the story, I think it's some of my best work.


The street cafe scene is quite prevalent in Amsterdam


Amsterdam is the flower capital of Europe and I've always been fascinated by these stupid shoes...


Nearly everyone rides a bike in Amsterdam -- not a bad form of transport!


The beaches north of Amsterdam are quite a bit of fun. Unfortunately, Chris and Sabine are the only two Dutch Girls who refuse sunbathe topless... I walked the beach quite a bit... Magnus and Sabine were quite tired from the partying (?) the previous night...
