I Amsterdam

One of my not-so-unknown guilty pleasures is watching the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills (I’ve been known to watch all cities but I think Beverly Hills is my favorite). I’m not sure what draws me to it but I think it’s mainly that it’s mindless television. It’s certainly not blog-worthy; however, on the latest episode the ladies were in Amsterdam and now I can’t stop thinking about Amsterdam.

For those of you who haven’t been might I suggest it be next on your list. Not for the marijuana or the Red Light District but for everything else Amsterdam has to offer – delicious food, happy, welcoming people, beautiful canals, colorful homes, and some really stunning museums (that’s saying a lot coming from someone who typically isn’t a fan of museums). I love Amsterdam; I might actually love it more than Paris. And when I start thinking about Amsterdam I start thinking about when we can go back and also about how we might live there someday.

Ever since spending four months in Paris, I have always dreamed of living abroad. Initially I hoped to find myself back in Paris but now Amsterdam tops my list. I have no idea what we would do, although there is an Epic presence in the Netherlands, but I do hope there is a way for us to get back there for an extended period of time. For now, enjoy some of my favorite shots from Amsterdam (they are in no particular sequence and are from two different trips).
