That's the symbol for Amsterdam and its on everything - posts, light poles, churches, man hole covers, etc.  We had a day today similar to yesterday - we left one city, arrived at a new city, dropped out bags at the hotel and immediatly went on a walking tour.  This time we toured Amsterdam.  We are now ensconced in our very packed hotel room.  The room is about 8ft X 15ft and has 3 twin beds, a table with 4 chairs, a small refridgerator, a clothes rack, 2 large window seats, a TV and a mantel (for a no longer functioning fireplace).  Tomorrow we have a VERY early day as our train leaves at 6:17am - I hope we can get to sleep tonight.  Atleast this place has decent curtains - most of the places haven't and last night in Hamburg, it was still light out at 11pm and light again when I woke at 4am!
