A quick note: Grab yourself a look at the pictures I have posted from my visit to Rotterdam. At a run there would have been enough time to make it all the way to Amsterdam, but I’ve been there several times before and decided to see what Holland’s second largest city had to offer.
I moseyed around with the lads from the orchestra checking out the sights, and snapping photographs of everything as I went. We found a beautiful bar that sold sandwiches the size of houses and had an excitable dancing barmaid. The décor was a mismatch of every type of furniture imaginable and the dark oak beams balanced the contrasting furniture that sheepishly presented itself to be looked at.
One particular street was loaded with bizarrely named stores such as: “Dump” and the “Britain Shop”. The Britain store prided itself on selling gaudy American clothes and I felt like I needed my shades when I was inside. The sex shop on the corner where the bus had dropped us was fun!
