Dear Amsterdam,
Gosh, you're pretty, with your rows of impossibly crooked canal houses, colorful tulip markets, and cozy cafes. I think I’m in love. In love with your cobblestone bridges and artisan boutiques, your delicious stroopwafels and oliebollen and other pastries with fun-to-say names. Red Light District, shmredlightdistrict. You’ve got class, Amsterdam. Don’t let any twenty-something-year-old tourist tell you otherwise.
Always,
Kristen
