Amsterdam

We made it to Amsterdam! I love this city. Even with a bus strike, rain, and random weirdness, it is perfect. Even though we've only been here since yesterday afternoon, I already like Amsterdam so much more than Dublin. Dublin was too crowded, and there were just too many cheesy tourist things, like really bad street performers, and people dressed like leprechauns. There were also a lot of trashy hen parties all over the place. I'm still looking forward to going back to Ireland at the end of the month, but I will only be in Dublin for one more night. Amsterdam, on the other hand, is so great that I wish I would stay here until the end of the month. The buildings and the canals are just so beautiful, and this city really feels a lot safer and calmer than Dublin. Today Hannah and I are planning on visiting the Van Gogh Museum, the Anne Frank House, and possibly going on a boat ride through the canals. We'll see how things go.

I only have about 10 more minutes of internet left, but I think I need to leave now so we can get to the Van Gogh Museum around the time it opens. I really wish I could write more, but I just don't have time. Just wanted everyone to know that Hannah and I are doing well, and we're having a great time.
