Rise and Shine

I'm awake! I'm awake!  I don't know what happened. I must have dozed off for a few....

Mr. Gadget and I are in Amsterdam and about to start a river cruise. Today we've been seeing some of the sights via a guided walking tour and a canal boat ride. Very nice but very hot. The city is in the midst of a heatwave.

As long as I have internet service and a working pointer finger (my iPad keyboard continually curses me) I will blog along the way. 

Amsterdam is a lovely city, but at the end of the day a tourist is completely exhausted from the effort of staying out of the paths of what must be a million bicycles.  The Dutch are skinny folks. They ride their bikes everywhere and have no room in their bike baskets for Twinkies and Doritos.

Here's today's photo.....the Amsterdam train station.  I'll be back after we've made it a little further down the river (the Rhine).
