In Amsterdam now, able to blog cause there are laptops at our hostel. It is amazing. The lifestyle here is laidback; and when I say laidback, I mean friendly easygoing people who do not judge us because we're tourists or foreign or American. To illustrate, we were invited by some local firemen today to have a spontaneous tour through the fire house, and taken up on their fire truck 25 meters in the air (REALLY HIGH) to get an amazing view of all of Amsterdam. When we were up there he told us about the sectors of the city. What a nice guy.
The coffeeshops and restaurants here are beautiful. We sat last night at a place and had such a great time. Today we started our day off by taking a tour through the Heineken Museum. WOW! SO MUCH FUN! The museum was ultra high-tech with email centers to send videos over the internet, and interactive screen and rooms with past advertisements and historical lessons about the company. We also got free beers, and I even got a custom beer bottle with my name on it for 5 euro! So cool!
Tonight we are going to see live music and dance in the city square. The weather is beautiful, the people are gracious, and I have never been more relaxed in my life!
Look forward to putting up pictures soon!
Until then, Ciao!!!!
