So I tried to download my pictures last night while I had Wifi access and discovered my cable from the camera to the computer wouldn't fit. Bummer! I neded an adapter to make it fit. Luckily, there was an Apple store right across the street from my hotel in Amsterdam. Apple makes an adapter, but it only works on Apple products, not my tablet. The guy there tracks down info on where I can find one for the tablet, and off I go in search of the place. I finally find the place and am told they only have the adapter for the ipad. Now what am I going to do? As I was walking back to the main square I see a store with a tablet in the window. I go in and discover the places I thought were usb ports are actually the speakers. There are no usb ports on my tablet, apparently. Long story to say that my computer will not connect to my camera which means no downloading of pictures until I can figure out another way. Any techies out there? (I did discover how to take pictures with the tablet, so I should have some coming soon.)
Anyway, on to other parts of Amsterdam. I wasn't there for too long, and with all the looking for the right cords, there wasn't much time for a lot else. I did get to Anne Frank's house, which is what I really wanted. Being at the house where she and her family were hidden for so long brings a new reality to the story I had read so long ago. It makes me want to see it again.
I did find a little Italian restaurant. I was in the mood for some pasta. While I was eating this little kitten comes down from upstairs and is wondering around the restaurant. I don't know about you, but that seems a little unsanitary to me. It made me think twice about taking another bite of my so-called chicken pasta.
So far, the people seem nice and helpful, and most everyone speaks at least a little English.
OK, so you're in Amsterdam and you're worried about the...FOOD??! You crazy! You can post pics you take with the tablet, but there's no real way to get them from camera to tablet that I know of. Will check with techusband to confirm. Xoxoxo
