4/7 Amsterdam

Today we got up and walked to the train station with Marion. We met Anneloes and her youngest brother ,Gus, and hopped a train to Amsterdam. This place was amazing. It was bustling with tourists and natives coming and going. First on our agenda was to visit the Anne Frank house. Stepping through the doors was like stepping back in time. It was a mixture of emotions intrigue that people lived like this, sadness for what they had to endure, and remorse remembering all of those people who suffered during that time. After going through the museum we walked down to the red light district. And let me tell you it was an interesting little walk. We passed "coffe shops"that didn't sell coffee lol but marijuana and even got to see a couple of prostitutes with their "red lights"on. Amsterdam is the only place in the world I think that red means go lol.After that we got on a boat and took a tour around the city. Some of us accidentally fell asleep(me mom and trevor) but it was fun. Then we went to McDonald's and some souvenir shops. It was a really fun day. Now we're back at Anneloes's parents house. They fixed us some Dutch snacks, fries, frickadel, crouqet, and some other things and they were all delicious. Well gotta got ya'll will be seeing most of the party in a couple of days. lots of love
