Uithoorn Straat 45

Amsterdam vibrant with
Bells of red trams and blue bikes
Canals sparkling night lights 
Delft facades rising tall and slim in misty air
Energy of never sleeping coffeeshops of laissez-faire life

Amsterdam is unforgettable! I lived at Uithoorn Straat for a few wonderful summer months. The food was excellent, the people seemed so honest and the sun forgot to set.
