Today we had a very long day trip (days here in general are very long, sun rises at about 5:30 and doesn't set until about 10:15 p.m. and it doesn't get dark til about 11:00 giving us a false sense time. No wonder we're so tired!).
Today we experienced exponentially all there is to experience in a day. Lots of fun, lots of memories, lots of new experiences, it was one of the best days we have had since we got here (I know we keep saying that every day!).
Our first stop on our tour was a windmill outside of Amsterdam, we also got to tour a clog and cheese factory and "play" with some cows we named them "menudo & tacos" ;-)
When we arrived in Amsterdam we took the most amazing boat ride, it was so beautiful! All along the canal we got to see boat houses, old houses and all the most interesting sites that Amsterdam has to offer.
We spent the afternoon touring the Ann Frank museum, wow, what a courageous young girl she was. I think that all our history lessons finally became more real and tangible for Alec.
Amsterdam is a very dense, populated city, saturated by bikes with no respect for the red lights or crosswalks or pedestrians, you must really watch where you are walking, or you can easily get run over!
We walked past a few coffee shops that had peculiar aromas coming out of them but it was not coffee... interesting.
Tomorrow we leave Brussels for Paris, we will most definitely keep in touch from there.
