... and our jackets) we head towards the central station area to catch the boat. (but only as a small detour, Chris purchased some bread to feed the zillions of ducks along the canals. We did manage to find a few nests of "moms" to feed and I'm sure they were thankful.) Leaving happy water fouI in our path, we arrive just in time for the last boat of the evening.

On the way to Africa, Angela and I had a 24 hour stopover in Amsterdam. So, we hit up the Anne Frank House (or Huis as they say in Amsterdam), the Van Gogh Museum, and Rembrandt's House. Other than that, here's my interesting story from Amsterdam: I decided it would be a great idea to take a picture of some professional women sitting in their little windows in ...

... the first train Curt could be on. However, it turned out he wasn't so I started to hike back. I decided to follow the route laid out by the hostel staff since it would only take about 20 minutes..... well 45 minutes later I admit I am lost and just wondering around.

... what do we walk into? the red light district. porn shops galore. i was all about going in those, but vicki didn't want to. i didn't want to leave her all alone on the street corner, what would people think? back at the airport, we ate at an overpriced cafe (well it is synonomous with airport). we still had a little time to kill, so i decided to try to sleep (by now, we had been up for about 28 hours, not including itty bitty cat naps ...

Mais pour le moment, nous voulons simplement foncé à l'hotel afin de se débarrasser des sacs... Sortit de l'hotel, on fonce, on ne sait pas où l'on va ...

Getting ready to leave in the morning hours to South Africa. It's been a very hard week and we're looking forward to see the family again. My grandfather is not doing so well. This trip will definitely be a different one than the ones we had before.
