RIP MJ. The news had just broken the night before and it was all over the papers.
**thanks to dbd@rainbow-media.com for the breaking news update
After our 2 hour nap. Catching the train to Amsterdam Central.
We had tickets for the canal boat ride tour, but ended up walking most of the day.
Cruising down the canal.
Some well-known bridge...forget the story/name.
adorable dessert place
bread+ham+3 eggs=european loco moco
entering The Heineken Experience
Page was really excited! (Maui girl)
She got her friend to make us these earrings :) all the workers loved them!
the brewery
grinding the barley
sampling the wort...
they were VERY generous with the samples
3 please, unfortunately not in green bottles
the Heineken lounge
you could create personalized bottles
and take pics
just like that commercial
they were showing Heineken commercials from over the years
we needed the break

chupa chups
torture museum
flower market

and shops in general
and sights for that matter...this is the coolest bike seat I've ever seen...
Jennifer restaurant!
Anne Frank's house
We tried to get a closer shot with the Jennifer restaurant sign, but there was a glare.
Getting close to the infamous Red Light District...
And they had the funniest shirts.
This is what at least one wall of every store looked like.
Policemen on horseback were hotter in Spain.
We saw a ton of people crowding around this place, then realized they EXCLUSIVELY sold french fries...heaven!
Voted #1 in Holland
So I got a large...and it was gigantic...oops
hot and crispy
Wish I had had time to check this out. Wonder if they gave free samples too?
NIghttime
Wok to Walk...yummm
We got a little lost on the train the next day. TG everyone spoke English.
Holland has the prettiest flowers!
Flea Market madness

enjoying the view and people
Pancake with strawberries and whipped cream...we walked across town to get this.
Page's dish was amazing...Poffertjes with the same toppings.
Great idea #1,847 formed on this trip: bachelorette party in Amsterdam!
I had to get the fries one more time before I left. This time with Mayo like the locals do. The lady taking my order didn't even really give me an option so I just went with it.
It was actually really good...and healthy I'm sure ;)
Carbonated Iced tea? Not too sure if I'd order this again...
Demonstrating my hobs skills by setting up a comfy little "bed" for the train ride to The Hague.
And school started the next day. Stay tuned to see if this will be the end of sightseeing and the start of studying.
