So we've been doin pretty well with our schedule thusfar. Unfortunately, we had to cross Belgium off the list. We needed a break in the schedule, and it woul;d have been a very uncomfortable car ride ( of course I sit in the middle). Thursday was Christmas, so we used it to wake up around noon after a late night at Red Light District. We visited a tiny city on a harbor called Verlondam (not the correct spelling) where we ate and walked around. Most things were closed, so we just hung out most of the day. That night we went to a sportsbar and watched the celtics and lakers game which was awesome. I called the Eve& Steve and fam to wish them a merry christmas. It was first time in a while I hadn't shared the holiday with them.
Friday we woke up early (for us) and drove to a place called Madurodam, which has an exhibit thats a model of Holland on a 1:25 scale. It's pretty nuts and I'll post pictures soon. It looks like I took them from a plane it looks so real.
Today we took a boat tour around amsterdam, and then walked around the center and did a little shopping. The boat tour was great; Amsterdam is made for these things with there very successful canal system. Just looking at all the buildings is astounding, every one is so beautful. Avi, Eli and I are about to go out into the night life. Tomorrow, we're going to the Heineken factory and then to a museum. Monday and Tuesday are for Paris
Until Next Time
