Adventures in Holland 2-

hello!

beckys birthday was yesterday- we had a great time in amsterdam!

when i got here i was worried about using the Euros, but its quite easy, they say numbers like we do, and their money is almost in the same denomancy- 50.00 - 20.00 - 10.00 - 5.00 and the coins are 1.00euro - 2.00euro, .50e - .20e - .10e - 05.e - 02e - .01e

for the one and two cent euros, they usually just round up or down, so they dont really use thoses...

but their money system is quite simple.

for breakfast yesterday i had bread, with butter and these sprinkle things... Hagel Slag... on the other slice of bread i had a Pasta(chocolate spread..not neutella) topped with a Pindakaas(peanut cheese, like a peanut butter) then of course the Hagel Slag on top...

i was able to buy a nice coat, its grey and ohh so cute...

in amsterdam, we took a canal tour in amsterdam.
then went to visit Rijks Museum, we saw a lot of Rembrandts work-

after that we went to dinner at In De Waag (in the weigh)

it was so fancy - i had the chef special, it was a cheese dish, with veggies like radish, green bean, asparagus, cherry tomato, carrot to dip in the cheese. it was a bit salty of cheese, but tasty...

we got a tasty dessert, it was a bread type with cinnemon sugar/powered sugar topping, two scoops of Lavander icecream on top, and because it was Beckys birthday she got a super firework, just a sparkler type thing. we finished the dinner off with a Cafe Latte. quite nice...

so amsterdam was fun, im so glad the gals know where to go and the area -- its nice...



so thats that so far... quite exciting..

the time change is a bit hard to get used to, Laura and i both woke up yesterday morning at 4am here...so that wasnt so great.. but thats ok...

today we are going back to amsterdam, for the marker, then back to finish our canal cruise...

well, peace out
