Amsterdam Pics

I was only in Amsterdam for one day, so I didn't have time to do a whole lot. And let's face it, most of the time it would probably be better not to be alone in Amsterdam.

I saw the Anne Frank house while I was there. It was one of the best museums/exhibits that I have ever been to. There were quotes from Anne's diary in all of the different rooms explaining what they were in her own words.

The house has remained unfurnished because the furniture was taken by the Nazis after the Franks were discovered. It was Otto Frank's wish that the house remain unfurnished.
Amsterdam is really a beautiful city. Yes, there are some parts that are a little to hippie and are geared toward the weed smoking crowed that flocks to this city, but once you get outside of that it is truely a gorgeous city.
I was able to spend part of the afternoon eating cake and drinking hot chocolate with an old couple who was on their way to the movie theater. We spoke in German. It was awesome.
