How to begin this story. We found ourselves with a handful of days off, what better to do than jaunt off to another country for a few days. No plans, no place to stay, just leaving on a wing and a prayer. A seven hour plane ride later and we were smack dab in the middle of Amsterdam. Having done almost no research and without a clue of where to go or what to do we began to wander the streets like a couple of explorers in search of bounty. In the short time we were there we did so many things and I was terrible about documenting them all. We saw the Anne Frank House, we went on the Heineken Brewery tour, we saw the Van Gogh museum, we had croissants, we met stray cats, we rode trains and trams, we saw windmills, we went to a town that smelled like chocolate all the time, we walked in the rain, we saw ladies dancing in windows, we tried crepes and doughnuts, we learned how a wooden clog is made, we ate fancy cheeses, but mostly we had an amazing time and we can't wait to go back.
