Amsterdam

   We just got back from Amsterdam and we're absolutely exhausted. Yesterday we took a 7:25am train and got to Amsterdam around 11:15. From there we had to try and find our way to a meeting point. When I was initially trying to find a place for us to stay everything was pretty much booked. But I finally found a place. So anyway, we finally got there and it was literally the guy's house. He was like yeah, I don't have my license so don't tell anyone that you're staying here. So that is always reassuring. We dropped our stuff off and then wandered around for a while. We walked up and down the canals and then went over to the i amsterdam letters outside the museum and hung out there. It's really hard to get a good picture in front of the letters! Then we went over to the lawn and sat there for a while. Over in the distance there was a lot of black smoke so of course we wanted to see what was on fire, but by the time we got there, it was pretty much out. We walked around some more and found a place to eat and then went back to the room.
     The next day we went to the Anne Frank house. The line to get in wasn't all that bad. There were no pictures inside. It was amazing to see how they lived for two years. I got to see some pictures and letters and those types of things. After that we went across the canal to have lunch before heading back on the train. I slept the whole way home too. Those 4 hours flew by!
