Amsterdam boats

Another ferry ride, this time to Amsterdam! Time to see a family friend again. The night was spent making dinner, doing laundry, reading and relaxing. The next day, we basically walked around, it rained like fucking hell off and on in the morning.

We had to walk about a mile to get to town from my friend's place and once we got to town, we just went into a coffee shop to hide from the rain. Once that died down, we walked the canals and around town (typical day for these tourists!) Then our friend had some Mittagsfrei (when the workers have about two hours off work) and brought us to his friend's boat house. We played dominos and she told us about the Gay Parade that we missed by a couple hours the night before. Big mess was left, but it sounded like a better parade than Minnesota's.

There are many fries stands that offer 20+ toppings/sauces. NEATO! DELICIOUS CALORIES. But fries in Europe (as with all fast food) taste better than in the states.

We went to the Sex Museum I forgot about, to the Torture Museum, a hookah bar, and eventually made our way back to the apartment where I decided to eat fruit and healthy-ish things.

Next day, off to Brussels we go!
