Amsterdam Netherlands

By
Welcome to Amsterdam. 

After a long flight we arrived in Amsterdam. Wearing a mask for 16 hours straight was not fun, but you do what is necessary. Saturday was full of bikers trying to get to the party. It was a madhouse with sidewalks, bike lanes and lanes for auto's jammed full of people going to fast. Seems like everyone is out for a good time or trying to kill us. Most people were in there 30's or 40's. All were fit except for the tourists. 

We started walking in the center of town to look for the Anne Frank Museum.  We fell in love with the small streets and 100's of bridges. We actually watched two boats hit each other under a bridge. They were only going about 10 knots, but boats do not have brakes. 


Our view of the city was exceptional. Everyone was drinking, smoking weed and having a wonderful time. While we did not smoke any weed, we did enjoy way to many drinks. 

After the Anne Frank Museum we boarded a wonderful tour boat. 

The cars are small, but that is all you need. This one is on the bike lane. I figured out if you have a motorcycle but no helmet you drive on the bike lane. 

We learned that the houses start in the millions and the houseboats were double that. 

We made it to the boat and started the trip at 5:45 pm. Fun food friends and plenty of drinks.

Blowing My Mind

Items that I have collected,  in no particular order,  that  BLOW MY MIND. I have been collecting and writing down information that blows my mind. Here is a list, in no particular order, of information that I have picked up shortly after I was born in 1958. It is crazy how much information that has changed or is changing as I grow older. The Universe In no particular order: The universe was created 13.8 billion years ago. Big Bang - Only two elements were formed one million of a millionth of a millionth of a second after the big bang. Because of heat after the big bang these two elements were created. 1. 75% hydrogen  2. 25% helium 400 million years after the big bang, the stars are formed under extreme heat. The stars start to fail and explode which created carbon, oxygen, iron, nitrogen cooked and then exploded. E=MC² shows that Energy and Mass are interchangeable which is how energy turned into elements or mass. The earth is 4.543 billion years old. Life on earth evolved after b

Vancouver then Disney Cruise to Alaska

Capilano Suspension Bridge and Park Purchased  by George MacKay in 1889, the 6,000 acres of forest had a beautiful Capilano river flowing right through the middle of the property. George and his team pulled ropes across the river and erected a suspension bridge. Tam is standing on the Cliffwalk which is 30 stories above the river.  I am on the Cliffwalk and removed the people in the photo with Google Photos Edit application.    Raptors are brought in to show and educate the visitors. A lady sat with this bird on her glove speaking with anyone that would listen. Very cool.  Tam standing on the porch of a 150 year old house cut from logs in the area.  Tam walking over the suspension bridge. The bridge is 450 feet (137 meters) long and moves a lot.  Stanley Park Great place to bike ride and walk along the sea wall. Stanley Park is almost 1,000 acers (400 hectares) in downtown Vancouver. They built the seawall around t
