Just got back last night from Amsterdam ... i think what impressed me most about that city is that there are so many modes of transportation ... you can ride your bike ... and the bikes are funky ... no one is trying to outdo each other on how expensive their bike is ... or you can boat it on your own boat through the canals ... take the tram ...or the bus ... and last and least ... the car ....you say ... so what ... well ... the most important thing - the most striking thing was ... I SAW SO MANY PEOPLE SMILING .... riding their bikes ... wind in their hair ... head in the sky ... and lots of excercised bottoms ... strong bodies ... beaming faces ... i guess the word is healthy ...maybe healthy makes happy? ... some bicycles had these large boxes infront where the children would sit ... WANT TO RIDE MY BICYCLE I WANT TO RIDE MY BIKE ...HERE ...
