We arrived in the city Wednesday about 10am, had to wait until 3pm to get the key to the 'temporary' apartment'. Checked our extremely heavy luggage at Drop-n-Go and wandered around. Finally got the key at 3pm and lugged/shoved the extremely heavy luggage onto a tram which took us to within about 8 blocks of the apartment. The nice thing about blocks in Amsterdam is that they are shorter than like your typical NYC block for instance, and much shorter than Starkville city blocks because there are none. The Amsterdam blocks have been, for centuries, at the human scale for walking.
This morning we checked out an apartment to rent for the next 5 1/2 months, scoped out the surrounding neighborhoods, and pondered the transportation system.
Maybe tomorrow I will be conscious......oh, and we had to lug the extremely heavy luggage up these stairs.
