*NOTE* in holland park, julia mounted a statue of a running man. i hope this clears up any confusions.
Amsterdam - in amsterdam everybody rides a bike. they have seperate traffic lights and bike lanes. and erica found out early on that they will try to push you over if you walk in their bike lanes. furthermore, if you bike in their pedestrian paths, they will yell at you.
we stayed in an 8 bed dorm room, and the other 6 were guys - 3 were cool, 2 snorted coke in the bathroom, and 1 had a severe body odor issue. the first night we walked around the city and crashed early. it was a rough night with the combination of body odor, drunken boys coming in a 4am, and having a drunk guy fall out of the top bunk, onto you (erica). the next day we rented some bikes, and biked for most of the day with a small lunch break - through vondelpark, rembrandtpark, and westerpark (julia mounted a bike, a cow, and a tree). we saw a windmill! and a car accident - it was bound to happen, they are crazy drivers. the second night we decided to go out on the town with brian and sean (2 guys from north carolina). we had some drinks at the hostel before heading to the red light district, and hit the bars, and the kebab huts. it was a late night/early morning.
today (our last day) we spent some time walking around. we went to the van loon house (one of the few large houses in amsterdam). it had cool secret doors in walls. we also walked through some markets, went to a sex museum, and julia FINALLY got to see some tulips (even though they were not in the ground, just for sale). she also bought some bulbs to plant a little holland garden back home. we had a cheep but good dinner, and a sit in vondelpark while planning the itinerary for paris - TOMORROW!!!
