May 14th, 2008-- Amsterdam Day 1

On this day, Amy and I took a plane from Gatwick to Amsterdam. My ipod decided it didnt want to work on the flight there. We got there and took a short train ride to Central Station, walked past the millions of bikes to our hostel... which turned out to be really nice, except for the tiny winding staircase that is in every amsterdam house i guess. Then we went around town... it is beautiful... like venice with all the canals. (Insert stuff later... haha) There are a million argenintian grills in amsterdam... jamie says its just to make a grill sound better. We found great sorbet and a park with statues.... from a painting by Rembrandt. We walked the city, sat in an outdoor cafe for wine and the tram was behind us and everytime it passed, it sounded like thunder. Then we went back to the hostel to sleep!
