Summer 2022 - PART II

 This is part II of my summer 2022 blog. Let's continue with my trip....


Amsterdam, Netherlands

This is one city that I have visited many times, but I still haven't seen much of it. This is because everything this city has to offer needs you to spend days enjoying it. I really love this city and the people. How about the arts and buildings? How about the nightclubs? The city has so much to offer.

if you know me, you will know ilove streets and I always find streets that are empty because there is something about an empty street that makes me wat to take pictures of.

in the Netherlands, everyone wants to stay fit. They are always biking,walking 🚶‍♂️ or eating healthy. So,why not be like them.. hahaha
It all about Rembrandt in this city and he is one of my favorite painters of all time. I also had to take a picture of the 'De Nachtwacht' bar. De Nachtwacht is one of my favorite paintings of him and possibly to most people. 
Up and personal with the statue of the man himself at the Rembrandt squares in Amsterdam.

Supposedly one of thebest theaters in the world but what do I know about this claim.. (That's what they say..)
This machines have ready to order and eat meals. This is something I have never seen in Europe. I have seen things like this in Japan but not in Europe. 
The daily market (Cuypstraat): This place has it all. Food, bars, fresh seafood, fruits, barbershops,coffee shops, fashion, weed.. what ever you want.
After walking all morning, it was time for some fish and fries. Try the Kibbeling fish and you will be back for more..I don't really like fried fish but this was actually not bad.
After some food, its time for a 🍺 

What will run you over or even kill you I'm Amsterdam are the bicycles. OmG, they are everywhere and I mean everywhere. I would hate to drive in this city. I won't even look at the stats on how many people have lost their lives or how many accidents this city has seen but I would not be surprised if it is 1000 or more. If it is less then I want the same guardian angel that is looking after this city..

You can rent one of this on your next vacation and just stay in there. 
Bikes everywhere and how about this little car?
You see,  bikers everywhere and even when I am taking a selfie... hahaha.. I just saw this later that day.. lol


Lisbon, Portugal
Lisbon is Portugal's capital and largest city, but has less than a million population. I have heard so many cool things about this country, and although Portugal has so many cool towns and cities, I wanted to check it out, but I thought starting in the capital city would be a good start.



Madrid, Spain
This city is packed with so many monuments. This is my first time in Madrid. I have been to Spain, but mainly in Sevilla and never to this part of the country. This is also the most populous city in Spain. Like all the cities I have been to in Europe, Madrid is rich in culture and history. The city has shops, restaurants, and nightlife for just about anyone.
olives are so cheap here
look how cheap wine is and this are good wines. These are the 30 usd wines we have in the States. 





Barcelona, Spain

Finally, I am in this city with shops, bars, and restaurants and we cannot forget their soccer team (Futbol Club Barcelona). Spain and Catalonia welcome you too to this beautiful city.

Paris, France
Paris is the capital city of France and has so much to offer. People call this the city of love. Wait a minute, is it Paris or is it one of the many cities in Spain? Anyway, who cares? It is my blog. Let's just say Paris is the city of love and stick to that.



Berlin, Germany
This is the capital city of Germany and the party capital of this country. I call it the sin city in Europe.


Reykjavik, Iceland
Iceland is a Nordic island in the North Atlantic Ocean and the most sparsely populated European country. It is Iceland's capital and largest city.


Seattle, Washington
OK, I had to fly back to the first Seahawks game in 2022. 

Las Vegas, Nevada
Sin City, here I come. There is no reason to write about this city.
