My CS host, Izaak, explained to me this morning that most tourists who visit Amsterdam and the Netherlands never truly get to see what life is really like. He said "Take my bike and go see for yourself." What a trusting soul!

He advised me not to brave the city downtown by bike yet until I get used to the way the Dutch move. There are 1 million people living in Amsterdam, but more than 2 million bikes. To put it in perspective, the Dutch ride with a purpose. They move fast. He told me the trip to Durgerdam for me would take twice as long as it would for a Dutch person.

After riding fifteen minutes in the wrong direction and then turning around, I rode another 20-30 minutes to the small village of Durgerdam.

i stopped at an old Dutch inn/restaurant called "De Oude Taveerne" off of Pier 73.

The capuccino was recommended. And it was delicious!
