Welcome to Amsterdam
At the end of our Rhine river cruise that ended in Amsterdam we spent a few days there. It is one of the coolest cities in the world. We visited the Anne Frank House which was both very educational and emotional.
With all the canals, interesting architecture, bicycles and nice people it was a great place to visit. We were there is early September and all the college students were just arriving in town and getting a head start on partying 101.
