Amsterdamnnnnnnnnn........
Yesterday we arrived in Amsterdam around 2:30pm. The first thing i see is all of these bikes EVERYWHERE!!! There are not very many cars and everybody just rides bikes. Can't say i'm loving it here as much as i loved it in London but i still can't form my opinion. The plus at this Hostel is that you have free internet access and the down side is the bathrooms and the overall cleaness isn't too good. When we arrived here at this hostel they weren't as friendly either. Everybody was too stoned. Yes, and in Amsterdam they can smoke pot legally. And when you walk around there are tons of "coffee shops" around. They sell everything there its kind of a culture shock because in america you have to be all hush hush about everything. Holland is beautiful and green though and its pretty cold and rainy here. That is a surprise to me because in England i dont remember it raining at all. Here it rains more and it is colder. The buildings here have a different style. Its really cool though. I think today we are going to go on a boat ride on one of the Canals and just site see. I tried to get a hold of Umu Said and it didn't work. He needs to hook us up with the Heineken people. Well there isn't too much to say then NO jerry i didn' t get to go to Buckingham palace because it is only open during certain days. Too bad i know but when i go back to london i'm hopeing it will be open. Oh and TRACY thank you for all of the "advice" i'm sure you have my mother worried. But she has nothing to worry about. Well will write more when i have a chance to. These computers are hard to come buy.

Hi Brinie,
Yes, I knew Holland would be a culture shock. Remember our friend in Deming, Pia? She is from Holland and makes a trip back every other year to see her sister. When the pot became legal, she was so shocked and also said there were needle disposal boxes on street corners for the other addicts. She still loves the her country and always enjoys returning, but just turns her head to the sorry side of it. Like Katie says, go out of the district you are in and enjoy the beauty of the tulips and other sites. Love, Grandma & Grandpa
