Fairy Tale Village

7:15 pm Tuesday, 20th
Hilton Hotel Schiphol Airport Room 301 (thanks T)

I mean come on...
Beautiful people, all getting around on bikes.
Stunning architecture, the likes of which you'll rarely if ever see in the US.
Perfect weather, and the most amazing transporation system (and airport) in the world.

Oh these dutch...

To put it succinctly, this place isn't fair. At some point I realized I wasn't taking too many pictures in Amsterdam, simply because it wasn't exactly like there was too much that stood out. It was all good. One takes photographs of highlights, but what is the whole thing is a highlight? Movies, I guess, but I don't have the hard drive space for it.

I just keep reminding myself that this country also rejected the EU constitution. Enlightened individuals they must all not be. They are probably kept away from the toursits.

It's been nice here. I'm glad I was only here for a few days, though. Like Barcelona, it seems this is the type of place you see for a day, or you stay for a month (or a year?). Anything in between and you don't really get that much of the place.

I don't know, something about it makes me think it's all a fake fairy tale village.
