europe archive 4/26/07: "and real Dutch people, they come from somewhere near the Netherlands, right?"


("Don't be silly. The Netherlands are like this imaginary place where Peter Pan and Tinkerbell come from.")

Hello everyone!!!

Amsterdam has been pretty whirlwind, as we really only got a day and a half here. Though that's pretty much enough to see what it's all about, I think. It has the look of a European town, with old buildings and cobblestones, the relaxed feel of Hawaii or Jamaica, with the activity of the Moulin Rouge by night. The food and weather are great and we've been able to fit in most of our "must see" things- a couple parks and museums and Anne Frank and Rembrandt's houses- and we just have the Van Gogh museum left for this morning before catching a train to Paris for the weekend. Oh, Paris. It'll be nice to be somewhere familiar. Although it's been pretty useful how everyone in Amsterdam speaks English.

Off for another busy day. Hope everyone is doing well!

Love,
Sara
