AMSTERDAM
AMSTERDAM was awesome!! We arrived there saturday night from Brussels and spent the whole next day there as well. When we first arrived we checked out some of the local night life. The streets were crazy. So many people were out and about. There was a "coffee shop" on every corner and hundreds of people roaming the Red Light District. The next day we visited the Anne Frank museum, which was the house that she hid in during WWII. It was such an emotional experience. To see where she actually was and to read about what she was feeling was unreal. After the Anne Frank tour we rented bikes and road them out to the countryside to find some windmills. The bike ride was so nice. It was such a beautiful day and biking is Amsterdam is so easy! There are more bicycles than cars! I really enjoyed my time here. The beautiful canals and Dutch houses throughout the city give it so much character. The city is full of such nice people and so full of life! I would definitely visit Amsterdam again! :)

It's so amazing to me to see the house and the canal in fron t of it and the streets and the bikes. It's phenomenal! Wish I could visit one of those Koffee houses (for coffee, of course, you know!)
