Amsterdam in Alabama

You know the global village is for real when you can visit Amsterdam in Alabama for a bite to eat. We spent our lunch one day at the Amsterdam Cafe in the small college town of Auburn, where we enjoyed some delicious food. I ordered a Dutch specialty from the menu... pizza... well, not because it is Dutch, but because I like pizza.

As I mentioned in yesterday's post, we saw Vincent Van Gogh in Alabama. This is where we saw him...

Little did I know Van Gogh was such a big fan of Auburn football. I know Auburn won the college football national championship this year, but still, I envisioned Vincent more of a Tour de France guy.
