The last is a retelling of the most accepted historical account of it's actual invention, slightly altered of course, to assure that it's in keeping with the humorous tone of the other stories.

The “mountain men” were the hunters and trappers who fiercely strode the Rocky Mountains in the early to mid-1800s. They braved the elements in search of the skins of beavers and other wild animals, to sell or barter for goods. The lifestyle of the mountain men could be harsh, existing as they did among animals, and spending most of their days and nights living and camping out in the great unexplored wilds of the Rockies.

Story
When Edmund Hillary first conquered Mt. Everest, Sherpa Tenzing Norgay was at his side. Indeed, for as long as Westerners have been climbing the Himalaya, Sherpas have been the unsung heroes in the background. In August 2008, when eleven climbers lost their lives on K2, the world’s most dangerous peak, two Sherpas survived. They had emerged from poverty and political turmoil to become two of the most skillful mountaineers on earth. Based on unprecedented access and interviews, Buried in the Sky reveals their astonishing story for the first time.

A Treasure Trove of Information!
This delightful travelogue begins with a brief history of how Amsterdam started out as a modest fishing village and grew into a global cultural icon. It contains a lot of good information on how to travel smart and offers humorous yet wise suggestions such as, “Dutch weather has a sense of humor. You should too” and “Even the windmills take the time to spin. You should take some time to slow down too,” and my favorite, “Pickpockets think it’s their civic duty to keep you on your toes.” I also like the admonition to not “miss the chance to turn your day upside down at the Upside-Down Museum.” That is definitely one place I want to visit!
Beyond Tulips in Amsterdam starts high with the museums of Anne Frank and Vincent Van Gogh and ends low with the Red-Light District and coffee houses that have nothing to do with coffee. This informative travel book has something for everybody!

Very pleasant and detailed
This is a great overview of Amsterdam; what's there, places to visit and experiences to have. The narration is pleasant but a touch robotic I would say. However, it's still done really well and there is certainly plenty of detail and advice about what to see and the choices you have, the currency and way to purchase things, museums, restaurants and cafes and of course the famous things like the Cannabis use and red light district. A good balanced auto book.

Amazing guide for the Netherlands!

Covering everything from landmarks to hidden gems, it's been invaluable in planning our family trip. While the narrator could be improved, it doesn't detract too much from the overall experience. With this guide in hand, my family and I feel much more prepared and excited for our upcoming adventure. Highly recommended!

Highly Recommend!
From the moment you hit play, the narrator’s engaging voice draws you into the heart of Amsterdam. The guide is meticulously organized, making it easy to follow along and find the sections most relevant to your interests. The content is comprehensive, covering a wide range of topics from historical landmarks and cultural hotspots to local cuisine and hidden gems off the beaten path.
One of the standout features of this guide is its ability to uncover lesser-known treasures that truly capture the essence of Amsterdam. The detailed descriptions and insightful tips help you navigate the city like a local, ensuring you don’t miss out on any of its unique charm. I especially appreciated the recommendations for quaint cafes, secret gardens, and vibrant markets that you wouldn’t typically find in standard travel guides.
The author’s passion for Amsterdam shines through in every chapter, making the listening experience both informative and delightful. The addition of practical advice, such as navigating public transportation and understanding local customs, adds an extra layer of usefulness to the guide.
Overall, this book is a must-have for anyone looking to unlock the full potential of their Amsterdam adventure.
