Walking on Clouds

The day was spent mostly walking around the outskirts of Amsterdam. It costs extra to take shuttle from the beach hostel to downtown, and since it was rarely glorious outside, we stayed behind. The beach is amazing, but we had no towels and the water was way too cold, so we skipped on the swimming. The sand was so cool to walk on! AHH I need to get pictures posted on this thing soon... (DONE!)



The little shopping area is open for a short amount of time on Sundays so we went to the grocery store and bought some booze since bars are expensive as fuck. I got three bottles and a candy bar for 3 Euro, which about $4.

Some hostel buddies were having a bar-b-que and a group of us went to go try and find them - no such luck. We ended up just walking around looking for them, getting drunk in the process and bonding with everyone. There were two Canadian girls, Michigan guy who teaches in Moscow, and ANOTHER fellow Minnesotan. We never found the bbq or whatever so we just went to a bar, from which I tried to "steal" those coasters that tables have an abundance of and got yelled at for it by the bartender.

Heading to downtown in about an hour to see the Anne Frank Huis, Sex museum, Vodka museum, eat a brownie...
