Adventures in Holland 3-

hello -

yesterday we went to Amsterdam again, it takes about 25 min to get there from Beckys house. we take a bus, then the train...

we went to the market, and bought some yummy Artichoke Dip, and some tomato flavored Tempede- we brought some bread from home and ate some lunch-

after that we went to the Anne Frank House- it was quite an experience. there was so much energy in the house, even in the different rooms. i was also surprised by how recent the Holocaust was. the dates were all 1942-1944ish - that wasnt too long ago. but i wouldnt mind reading the Anne Frank Diaries again, the last time i read it was in middle school- so now would be good again!

after walking around Amsterdam, we had dinner at a little place and i had Shoarma. it was almost like a taco meat, but becky sait it was layers or Lamb, Beef, and Pork cut into strips and cooked. (i think anyway) we put the meat into some Pitas.

the roads are quite small here, enough for the main roads to be two lane... there are bicycle lanes, and then sidewalks

most everyone wears boots and long winter coats.

its been quite rainy and very windy... its been cold. so yep----

beckys people have been away for the weekend. but they come back today, and then they start work... so tonight i get to go home with tess, and Laura will stay here at beckys... then on wednesday night we will all sleep at beckys, wake up at 5am, catch a plane to PARIS!!!

so thats pretty cool -

in amsterdam there was a big huge bike garage type thing, it was 3 storys high, and there were just bikes and bikes all chained up and smooshed in there...

i havent been bike riding yet, but yes, i am very nervous-

anyway, all the girls are eating breakfast, so i suppose i should go too---
