Hello Everyone!
I again am starting my day today with a visit to the library. The weather outside is cold and windy but, no rain yet!!! I am dressed in warm clothes so the wind won't make me sick. Today I think I will take the different metro lines out of Amsterdam and visit some neighborhoods. I normally take the 54 to the area I am staying but, I think I will take either the 50, 51, or 53 to see what there is around the city. If it is not raining when I return to the apartment tonight I hope to go for another bike ride.
Yesterday I managed to walk around a good portion of the city. I think I was walking from 12 (noon) until 5:00 pm. It was wonderful and the time flew by so quickly. Every street there is something to look at and marvel over. There are many people around so it is fun to watch others and see how they act. I went to a market and thought about buying some cheese and crackers but, I was not hungry enough. Today, if the market is open I will buy some fruit or a sandwhich. I forgot that I wanted to bike today in the city and left without asking to take the bike. This might be a good thing because biking in Amsterdam is CRAZY! I was only going to bike on the side streets. Last night I went for a bike ride with my hosts and we watched some African Dancing. The area where they live is very diverse and interesting.
Tomorrow I will pack up my bags and travel by bus to Belgium. The bus ride departs Amstel Sation which is close to where I am staying. From there to Brussels it is a 4-5 hour bus ride! I know it sounds like a long time on the bus but, at this point in my trip saving money it great! So bus ticket cost 10 dollars and train was about....40 dollars.
