Amsterdam

I just got back from an absolutely amazing weekend in Amsterdam. The city is so gorgeous. The people are very friendly and the atmosphere is just so relaxed and fun. The fact that the sun was out and we could walk around in just a t-shirt instead of 3 layers of clothes helped to make it even more amazing. We went to the house that Anne Frank hid out in, walked along the canals, saw the smallest house in the world, took a 4 hour bike tour through the countryside, went to the Heineken Brewery, and a ton more!

One fun story:

At the airport when we went through security my friend Amanda had her bag selected for a random search. The securtiy guard that went through her bag looked like a body builder with a tight shirt and huge biceps and an army hair cut. As he's pulling stuff out he gets to her cosmetics case. As he pulls it up she sees her black thong wrapped around the case. He lifts the case out and the thong is stuck to something in the bottom of the bag. Instead of removing it he just pulls the bag harder to get it out as the thong snaps up. (By this time we're trying really hard not to laugh with the serious security guard). He kind of works around it to open the case and as he opens it her eye liner pops up and gets stuck in the thong... just to make things worse... or funnier. Finally he puts it back after checking everything with the thong still wrapped around the case....

Aww, good times.
