Amsterdam-is-great-for-American-tourists

I have been traveling all over Europe the last several weeks meeting with our clients and visiting with old childhood friends.

My friend from childhood John G. and I really like Amsterdam, and I have been there many times over the last ten years and also to visit most of the cities of the Netherlands.

Some of the reasons I suggest starting any European holiday in Amsterdam is the fantastic history which you can easily find on the Internet.

The kind and helpful nature of the people and the fact that they speak English is another excellent reason to start your trip in Amsterdam.
One minor frustration for USA citizens who like American style black ice tea, is that all over Europe they drink sweat ice tea that is flavored with lemon or now they also offer peach. We we make our own black non sweat ice tea fresh, and it is work to explain to the different waiters and waitresses what our requirements are.
So we just show them the following picture.


We were exercising and took a long walk and met the nicest young Dutch women named Samantha at the Gulf gas station and store. Please see picture below:
