Amsterdam Day 1

Ok so this is a web log or the cool term blog. Just arrived in Amsterdam a few hours ago after a day and a half of flights and airports. I was in Reykjavik, Iceland this morning. A few fun facts...the glaciers are melting quickly(yes there is ice in Iceland), 85% of the people lives in Reykjavik leaving most of the country sparsely populated, they speak Icelandic(didnt take that one in college), and ice climbing is a hobby. This was all gathered from my time in the airport this morning so you are welcome:) So Amsterdam is just like I left it last March. So many people and canals. I love it! I dont love screaming tourist with my huge backpack but I have yet to find my friend who I will be staying with. This could be a challenge as I have no phone and he has not answered his. Oh the wonderful world of traveling. I cant wait to get a bike tomorrow and cruise all over this city. I was too intimidated last time, but my biking around Portland has made me confident that I can go anywhere here. Weather, not so great. People are wearing winter coats and I am freezing in my sweatshirt which was the warmest thing I packed. Sitting in an internet cafe and already missing my laptop with wifi and of course my cell phone. How do you find someone in Amsterdam? Im about to find out...
