Amsterdam!!!

Well Amsterdam is not what I expected for the most part. I think I had this simplistic idea of windmills, tulips, wooden shoes, and farms. While that is only a small taste of Holland, Amsterdam has so much more to offer...if you like it! I really do not think I ever fully grasped the reality of what the Red Light District really was until I saw it for myself. What a culture shock for a small town country girl! Needless, to say I don't think it is my kind of crowd, but Christine and I still found some great things to do in the day. We went to the Sex Museum, which turned out to be a very nice art gallery :) of the history of sex. Then we went to the Anne Frank House which was priceless. I never thought in my whole life that I would get to experience that, and if that was the only thing I did then my trip would be made. Lastly, we took a 1 hour boat cruise of the canals and the town. That was beautiful. I am glad that tomorrow we are heading back to Germany. I have had enough of this touristy city!
