goodbye Amsterdam...HELLO GERMANY

The last 10 days have been such a different experience. London was so different from Paris in so many ways. We are so lucky for this opportunity and for getting the chance to learn and share in other cultures, that I find it hard to say anything but good things about where we go, however, lets just say, after 5 nights in Paris, we were DEFINATELY ready to move on. Amsterdam is a beautiful city. Bikes everywhere! Very young night life, most people walking around were our age. We have spent the last four nights here! In Paris, we stayed at The Friends Hostel, which was not so pleasant as an experience for me, as I broke out in a rash which has now moved to my face! However, Orfeo Hostel, in Amsterdam is great! Clean, good FREE breakfast and...FREE INTERNET...also close to everything for the most part. Paris had some beautiful attractions, the effiel tower at night is a MUST. Amsterdam as a city wasn't as stunning individually, but it all fit. While here we went to the Anne Frank museum, which was amazing. Well...wish I had time to tell more, but we need to catch our train to Berlin! Love and miss you all!! We have finally uploaded the rest of our London pictures, all of our Paris pictures, and a couple Amsterdam pics. HOPE ALL IS WELL AT HOME!
