AMSTERDAM

I know I'm super behind on updating you all on my life, so here we go!

A few weekends ago I took off to Amsterdam with Sam and two guys from DIS. First of all, Amsterdam is BEAUTIFUL. Our hotel was in a great location, a close walk to touristy things and also Vondelpark where we spent lots of time walking around the green grass, near ponds, and over bridges. A very nice break from the gray, cold, stone surroundings of Copenhagen.

On Friday, we woke up early and headed out for a canal tour! The tour was beautiful and we saw many sites of the city. It's really interesting how the harbors weave through the entire city. In the evening, we went to Anne Frank's house. This was pretty intense. Seeing her actual diary, the bookcase, everything. Very non-vacation feeling, but still glad we went. After Anne Frank, we did another Amsterdam must and headed to the Red Light District. This was... yeah. I could only take so much. What a job that is.

Saturday we started the day off by visiting my favorite brewery/museum tour as of yet: THE HEINEKEN EXPERIENCE. We got to see the old factory equipment, go on a ride, get sprayed by beer, go through a taste testing, and of course we got some free beer. Brainwashed for sure. After getting a little drunk on the tour, we headed off to the Diamond Museum. Still not positive why we did this. Oh yeah, it was free and Sam likes shiny things. Then we went to the Van Gogh museum which was actually incredible. We spent the night club hopping. There may have been a poll involved at some point or another. Maybe.

And yeah! There's the PG version of my trip to Amsterdam!
