i doubt that Amsterdam is hurting for tourists.
===========================================
good ole SAN Francisco
remembering.....................
when i was 18,
i hitch hiked from San Jose where i was staying visiting with my oldest brother...to the west coast just to see it...
I had an absolutely fantastic time on the beaches swinging a thirty foot kelp shaft around and basically just enjoying the powerful ocean waves, the cliffs ...sights and sounds.
it started to get late... as i walked many miles thru Santa Cruz
heading back enjoying all the the scenery ...then a group of about one hundred Bikers passed me on the winding mountain Roads.. which was a definite rush.
I get into the area where the highways have signs back to
San Jose and several groups of vigilante citizens threatened me being that i was a lone hitch hiker as they searched for some bad guys by the hundreds in every conceivable vehicle all carrying weapons of various descriptions yelling and screaming.
it was very unusual and disturbing so much so that i had to call my brother to come get me because i literally feared for my life.
After that i took a Bus to San Diego and found it more mellow.
