Amsterdam has great museums and is a very walk-able central city. People will tell you to go right of the bridge when coming from the train station as going left will take you to the red-light district. Either way seemed fine to me as Ann Frank's House and Rembrandt's House are to the left and the red-light district is not so bad. However, I suggest that you contact "Those Dam Boat Guys" and take a small boat tour (max of eight people) of the city by canal. It is well worth it and run by ex-pats who speak English and love Amsterdam. Seems much better than the big tour boats with all the people wearing earphones.
The best adventures are those that contain surprises. There are wonders to be discovered by getting lost in the Highlands of Scotland or on the back roads of New England. There may just be a chance to meet a special character who changes your life. In ancient times these were sometimes known as angels.

This is not a travelogue -- we leave that to Rick Steves -- this is a collection of fragments in the journey of life.
