Amsterdam

I had the opportunity to visit Amsterdam with my daughter who lived in Europe.  I was enthralled with the beauty of that city — there are one hundred and sixty-nine canals that go through it.  On each side are very tall, skinny buildings.  Apparently the original owners were taxed by the square footage of their first floor, so they kept that floor small but had multiple stories.  A lot of people live in house boats that float in the canals.  Tall trees are on each side.  The reflections of the houses, trees and boats are enchanting.  Amsterdam is a beautiful city.
