Amsterdam, Netherlands

Amsterdam is the capital of the Netherlands and located in the North Holland providence. It is a city of canals and known as “the Venice of North Europe.” The first time I visited this wonderful city was during “Queens Day” in the Spring of 2011:

Going to a Coffee Shop is a must do… its all part of the Amsterdam experience! To learn more, I also visited The Hash Marihuana & Hemp Museum.
