June 7, 2012








Today we woke up at dang 8.30 AM because everyone else in the room was up and at it.  First of all, the rooms are not as bad as I thought they would be.  I slept very well and only woke up a few times when people got back late night.   We probably all have bed bugs but we’ll worry about that later.   We went downstairs and got a bulldog coffee at the café next door to the bulldog.  It is a shot of espresso, hot chocolate, and whip cream… it was amazing.  Since we have no itinerary we decided to just explore Amsterdam this morning.  If I had to compare Amsterdam to another city in the world, I probably couldn’t.  It definitely caters to people’s vices, as does Las Vegas; at the same time it is beautiful like Florence and Venice; it is unlike anywhere I have ever been.  We discussed our next couple of days and decided that going to Roterdam would not work on the 9th because that would use up a whole day of our train pass, and we still need some of those.  We talked about going to the zoo but that was too pricy for a zoo… I would only pay 40 euro to go to a zoo if I was in Africa where the animals are different.  We just hung out today and tried to see as much of Amsterdam as we possibly could.  Check again tomorrow.
