We probably hit the wrong spots but our impression of Amsterdam overall is - meh. Caught the train from Haarlem to Amsterdam, easy 15 minute trip for 7 Euros RT. The train station is impressive, one of those giant old school things with trains going every which way. Most of the front of the station is under construction so it's a bit of an obstacle course getting to the main drag. We walked down the main drag and around to the mint tower (used to be the mint for the dutch). Best stop was the flower market (some pics below). Otherwise our impression is Amsterdam is touristy or business-ey and not a lot else. I'm sure this is unfair and there are better bit's of Amsterdam - I think we just missed them. We've got some better pic's I'll upload later (these are from my phone).

For Kelsey - Does it make you cringe a bit?
