Amsterdam!

I just got back from Amsterdam earlier today. I went with Justin on Monday and we met up with his housemate Kyle.

This will probably be my last post before I get home. Tomorrow, I leave for Italy. I'll be in Venice until Sunday, then Florence until Wednesday, and finally (in Italy) to Rome. On Saturday, I'm meeting Wade in Vienna. After Vienna, Wade and I are going to Prague and then I'm showing him around London before coming home.

I'll be back on May 2nd. I love you and I'll see you sometime probably in May!


From Monday to Thursday, I was in Amsterdam. There was lots to do, so it was a busy few days ...


The flower markets in Amsterdam. They do love their tulips. And I love their clogs.


Another canal, lined by trees and canalhouses... Complete with sunken boat.


This is what a mall looks like in Amsterdam.


Vondel Park is really pretty.


On Wednesday afternoons, the Symphonietta (or something like that) does a free concert at the Concert Gebouw (Concert Hall). We went and saw Beethoven's 3rd. We had spent the morning in the Van Gogh Museum. It was a very cultured day until the afternoon ...


A really big can of Heineken. We did a tour of the factory on Wednesday, after the concert.


The end of our tour of the Heineken Factory.


Spring in Amsterdam: the canals are lined with buds


Good-Bye Amsterdam from Krista and Kyle in front of the Dutch Royal Palace in Dam Plaza!
