I'm going to start off with a beat of honesty here - I absolutely suck at blogging. I apologise for being so far and few between with these blog posts, but grad school has been killin' me.
HI NO, not an excuse I want to use. I'm making a public internet apology and a promise that I'm going to figure it out and get myself up and running with more frequent posts. YAY ENGLAND!
This past week I took a quick four day trip to the land of good times, Amsterdam.
Now we've all heard that people's most memorable moments about the city are the cannabis filled streets and girls with no clothes on that want to take your money, which is legal, but that's not what I got from it.
Amsterdam is the most vibrant and alive place I've ever been. It's a true component to my volunteer trip to the Dominican Republic from summer 2011. There's always something to do. Whether it's taking a canal boat ride, sitting waterside for lunch, or simply walking down one of their many breath taking streets, you'll find yourself gawking, well at least I did, at the well kept and architecture rich city.
After wandering through the Van Gogh museum and Anne Frank House to see some of the most famous pieces/places in the history of the world, Troy and I relaxed in the grassy park outside of the again famous, Rijksmuseum.
We then found ourselves finding a few surprises in the infamous Sex Museum. We also took ourselves through the Heineken Experience. And to top it off, we spent an entire day a bit outside of the city at a flower park. Literally, a park full of flowers called Kukenhof. Can I just live in this heaven of flowers?
It's incredible that in a few short hours on a train you're in a different country soaking in some of history's best.
England is the spot to be and I found true bliss in Amsterdam.
See the pictures below and have a look at my first GoPro traveling video. I think the GoPro cameras are one of the greatest late inventions and I'm so excited to have captured some of the funniest moments on film.
Blog back soon, I promised remember?
