Talked....

So I just got off the phone with my Mom, surprised her with a call from Amsterdam!

She asked the question that everyone is bound to ask "So, how is Amsterdam!?" and to try and explain it is very weird...no, not just because it is to my mom :) She has heard it all....
It is just strange to go four stores to the left of our hostel on a main road and have a selection of Magic Mushrooms to choose from, with an expert to give advice and tips.
Then go about 200 yards across the street to the Red Light district and have basically naked women tapping on their doors and windows to get you to come pay them for sex.
Then go back to your hostel and the whole lobby is full of pot smoke and stoners.
And they are weird about their Hard Alcohol here, it is super expensive and not very easy to find! They love their Heineken and Amstel beer, other than that you can either whip out the credit card and try to pay for a mixed drink or take some sort of herbal supplement. LOL

It is a strange and amazing place that you really need to visit!

Very diverse people...very diverse fashion....
