So, I have been in Amsterdam a week and a half, done a lot of riding around, sight seeing, and working at the bike shop as a fietsenmaker. That's bike mechanic. I unfortunately forgot the battery and charger to my brand-new camera, so all I have is my phone, sadly. Still though, gotta share these:

This is where you catch the ferry back to Noord-Amsterdam, from the Centrum.

Amy Joy and I rode to the Library, but then Ferris fell asleep in the bike on the way there. Crisis was averted by making sure he woke up near a steady supply of cookjes and applesap.

And this is a three-picture montage of the bike parking outside Centraal Station. Three stories of bike parking never ceases to amaze me, plus this poor picture doesn't show the masses of bikes parked in every nook and cranny around the station. My photoshop skills are poor, and it's a cameraphone (DAMMIT!) but you get the idea right?
Saturday morning I leave on my tour, two weeks with my bike and a sleeping bag.
I'm a little scared, but more excited.
