Easter in Amsterdam...

Our northern European spring break adventure started on a cold, snowy Easter Sunday. Though we had expected cold weather, the white flakes and bitting winds were surprising. We spent the afternoon wandering around the canals, visiting the Van Gogh museum, and even taking in a Protestant church service (all in Dutch) at the large cathedral pictured here. One of the most impressive things about Amsterdam, aside from the narrow buildings squished together, was the bicycle transportation system. There were bikers everywhere, and we witnessed many near collisions. It was insane!
