We slept till about 1:00pm to help us battle the hangover. After that we toured the city some more. I keep viewing pablo as an imported Spanish assistant because he always carries the map and finds out where to go.
We went to see the Anne frank museum at roughly 3, Anne frankly it was awesome. Fortunately there were no kids, reckless teenagers or obnoxious Americans touring the house.
In case you don't know, Anne frank was a very intelligent Jewish 13 year old girl who got caught by the Germans 1 month before the liberation in world war 2. She was then sent to Auschwitz where she died under the false belief that all of her family members were dead.
Reading small snippets of her diary on the walls in warehouse in which she used to hide in made me realize one thing - I've got powerful competition for the title of best diary creator.
Pablo and I met up with Des at 6 and we got to see her roommates. They're really cool. We first met them as they were sitting on the balcony spraying each other with water pistols. By the end we were joining in on a full fledged water fight. Awesome.
We then met up with some of des's american friends who were temporarily staying in Amsterdam. They were both from upstate new York. All 5 of us attempted to go out downtown but a combination of closed venues, forgotten id's and expensive entry fees resulted in us ending back at des's house drinking wine and eating salami. The night ended at 4am when pablo and I decided to go home via bicycle.
In general I really like the bike riding here. The flat landscape of the country makes it a really easy and practical alternative driving.
