Amsterdam Conversations

So Berlin was awesome. We left it with lots of things missed. It was also the coldest place so far, and we didn't really bring clothing for really cold weather. I know at home it is really cold, but at home you have warm homes and cars to be in. We are out in the cold all day. We went to the Berlin Zoo and it was AWESOME! We saw rhinos and pandas and gorillas and kangaroos and lions and tigers and bears, oh my. The penguins were awesome as well, they can swim wicked fast.

Then to Amsterdam. We only really did stuff yesterday and it was fun. First we went to the Anne Frank museum, its the house they hid in, and it was very cool. Then we went to the Van Gogh museum and saw like 200 of his paintings. He is definatly my favorite! Then we went to the house of Bol's, which is a liquer company. The smell and taste tests were cool, but it wasnt worth the admission price. We were quite cheesed the Heineken Experience is closed for renos so that was supposed to make up for it. Then we head to the Hemp and Marijuana Museum. It was interesting, but don't worry, there were no free samples. We all stayed clean and respectable.

Today we went to Madame Tassauds in Amsterdam, a wax museum. It was dissapointing. Not worth the money. We ate donairs for lunch and then headed to Brussels, Belguim. A nice shopowners let us use his phone and we quickly found our hostel. Eric and I forgot out Let's Go Europe in Amsterdam though, which really sucks. Hopefully we can find a new one somewhere.

After checking into the hostel, which took nearly 2 hours, felt like it at least, we went in search of food. It took forever to find a waffle van, but it was worth it. The waffles were AMAZING. Then we had fries, which were nothing special. The best fries in the world come from the red Smokies van across from my work. I have never had anything that amazing, in the pomme frites sence. That pretty much brings us to right now. I will probably go to sleep early because I am bored....I know its sad. I get bored easy.
