Amsterdam’s eccentricity and Edam’s calmness

its been always know that Amsterdam and The Netherlands are some  of the most special and wonderful places in the world. It’s not only the historic places you can go but also the cosmopolitan atmosphere you feel. Even though during summer  Amsterdam and in the whole country can be a bit crowded the weather makes it perfect, long days and short nights help you to experience as  many things as possible. 
I went with my parents , first we got to schipol airport around 7 or 8 in the night, I was a bit shocked about the sun, it was still out and for me it did not make any sense at all. we  grabbed a cab and went to the hotel, once we got there I could imagine how beautiful this city was, amazing buildings, everyone seemed  happy having a beer or just hanging up with some friends. Another thing that got at First sight was the culture for cycling i just could not believe how easy was to get a cycle and go everywhere you want, even fTom de airport To the city centre. 
 The first day we woke up super early, my parents wanted to size the day, mi first impression about Amsterdam a  quiet and a really peaceful city with vibes of like a town but  around 10 in the morning everything changed .  I remember people coming out from nowhere and the quietness and  peacefulness just gone But in a good way, everyone seemed so happy and enjoying the best of Amsterdam and its freedom. One of my favourite moments was my dad concerning about people coffee shops and people having a joint in the streets and in the morning.  During  4 days in amsterdam we went to many museums like the  Moco museum , the  risjks museum, van gogh museum, stedelijk among others. We were supposed to stay in the Netherlands only for 4 days but then a guy from the hotel recommended us Edam, he described as a small town with a proper dutch athmospere. I don’t know what moved us, but seemed to be a nice and short adventure we could miss.
