Exploring Amsterdam…. Street Scenes…Canals….Architecture

Amsterdam roof tops

The secret is out! I had the great pleasure of spending ten days with friends in The Netherlands around Rosh HaShana! Amsterdam is an amazing city, filled with historic and well cared for architecture, lots of water and boats and a certain European charm that I just loved. This is the first of a series of posts in which I’ll share my favorite photos from the trip. The truth is, I could have taken photos almost every moment as there was so much to see, but after a few days I decided to just see everything through my eyes as opposed to through the camera, and only took photos when it was absolutely necessary! Enjoy.
