Amsterdam by Joe

Greetings friends and family!

Yesterday we arrived to Amsterdam from after several days in London. We had a great time in London but were ready to move on to see what The Netherlands had in store.

In our first night in Amsterdam, we got situated in our hostel and found a good pizza restaurant. We watched the USA-England World Cup soccer game there and yes, Europeans do absolutely love their soccer! I believe the soccer celebrations continued throughout the night, as we were all awoken at 5 AM to some choosing to party on in the streets!

Today we went to the Anne Frank museum. Very interesting place to say the least. Later in the afternoon Darin and I went to the Heineken factory and had a great time learning the "proper" way to drink a beer. Cassandra and Laura went shopping, sometimes to the same store eleven times as they went in circles all afternoon.

Anyway, we are set to leave for Berlin tomorrow morning. We have enjoyed Amsterdam and the hostel that we stayed in has been great. The staircase is very steep, and has provided some comedic relief as someone to remain unnamed may or may not have fallen up the stairs.
