AfriDAM

So I am on an extended layover in Amsterdam with my friends Liz and Stacey who are also coming to Africa and it is great. We got here monday morning, all on separate flights, and planned to meet outside of Customs but our luggage ended up coming in on the same carousel. It was a great little reunion. We stayed at a hotel right by Central Station called Hotel Old Quarter monday and tuesday night and then Stacey's dad got us two nights in the Marriott for tonight and tomorrow. This was our spacious room in Old Quarter...what a place

Amsterdam is great...we've been to the van Gogh museum, Anne Frank house, Vondelpark, Keukenhof Tulip Festival, walked around a TON, and a few festivals around the city. We're figuring out how to get around and how Euros work, we're basically pros. We even have a little cafe we like...Sara's Pancakes aka HUGE delicious crepes.

We love Amsterdam. We laugh a lot, see a lot of sex shops, everyone smokes, there are some fabulous bikes, the shoes are phenomenal (jaclyn you would DIE, everyone wears the greatest old school nikes), and the cars drive on the sidewalks a lot. We are having a blast though. PS the canals are so pretty
