Amsterdam

I was quite suprised to find that Amsterdam is so much more than drugs and prostitutes, it's also a very beautiful city with a lot of culture and tons to do. We spent the first three days sight seeing with our parents before bidding them farewell and beginning the sister sister leg of the tour. We tried yet one more canal cruise, we love those and visited the famous Ann Frank house, our first of many World War 2 memorials to come on the trip. The red light district was a lot more showy than I thought, basically window shopping for prostitutes and peep shows. There were more coffee shops selling of weed and mushrooms than coffee. Interestingly enough, in this liberal city that allows anything including drugs and prostitution, you are not allowed to drink on the street. Go figure.

After mom and dad left we did all the things we were not able to do while they were with us. (Just kidding, do not worry guys) I'll let the pics do the rest of the talking.
