For anyone whose a Rick Steves fan: there's going to be a story on (and interview with) him this week on 60 Minutes Wednesday (May 25 at 8:00) “RICK’S WORLD.”

...we wound up in Amsterdam's red light district. The oldest profession is legal here, so in his Amsterdam book, there's a map showing where to find prostitutes, and cheaper prostitutes. Steves also highlights cafes where marijuana is on the menu.

"It's not my responsibility to shield my tender Americans from something that is a reality here," says Steves.

"Do you tell your readers how much it costs to buy a joint?" asks Mabrey. "Yes, it's $3," says Steves.


Haha, seems like a cool down-to-earth kinda guy. ;)
