During June of last year my girlfriend and I took a 2 week trip through Europe, visiting (in order) Kiev, Helsinki, St. Petersburg and Amsterdam. It was a fantastic vacation that I'll remember for a long time. Hopefully these pictures will give you a little glimpse of the character of each city.
Amsterdam is the last city we visited and for some reason, it has taken me forever to upload the pictures to photobucket. Anyway, the deed has been done and I am finally able to share them with the good people of SSP. By the time we got to Amsterdam, I was pretty beat and wanted to relax more so then explore (this is my second time visiting), so while my girlfriend ran around exploring the sites, I mostly hung out on our rented houseboat and meandered around the Jordaan neighborhood where the boat was located. Enjoy the pics, the commentary is limited due to it being a while since the visit and my memory being somewhat hazy
