Today’s target run: 1 hour, 12 minutes
Today’s completed run: 1 hour, 12 minutes
A lovely weekend, albeit a quite cold one, was just had in Amsterdam. A work colleague, Cynthia, and I decided that a girl’s weekend was definitely in order, so being that neither of us had ever visited this fair city, this was our locale of choice.
Now, before you start feeling sorry for the Budman, he is in the US for a week on business, and was in NYC last weekend. No pity parties for him. As an aside, we’ll definitely be going back to Amsterdam, so he’ll get his own trip in the near future.
The city is quite charming, with no shortage of sights to see, shops and markets to check out, restaurants to eat at, canals to cruise, and streets to walk. It is an extremely walkable city at that, so there is really no reason not to “hoof it” and sightsee on foot. If that is not an option, the tram and canal sightseeing cruises are a perfect back-up plan.
Lots to tell you, but for now, let me share photos of the canals….I did not realize how many photos I snapped of the canals. It is a charming place for sure….
One of many canals in Amsterdam.
Canals and bikes...typical Amsterdam.

Yes, the canals can freeze over a bit, as we observed from these “ice-skating” ducks.
