Amsterdam

Well, we've been to Norway, Denmark, Germany, Austria, Italy, Switzerland, France and today we make a stop in: Holland. DJ and I went to take a tour of the Heineken Brewery (which my boyfriend insisted was a must see), but it was closed. So, we went to Anne Frank's house. Closed. So we went on a canal ride.
