On our last afternoon in Amsterdam, we ventured down to Amsterdam’s central area (i.e. where all the tourists are) and wandered through the floating flower market and Dam Square.  Suffice to say, we knew quickly we had to get out of there as it was just flooded with people and we immediately missed the quiet calm of the Nine Streets and the Jordaan.  We did stop for waffle cookies and gouda cheese though to bring home while in the area.  After a quick tour of the area, we headed back to the canals for the quiet calm that I love about Amsterdam away from the tourist crowds.
