This past weekend Mike & I went to Amsterdam for his last weekend in the Netherlands. We stayed in Hilversum at Beth's (another calvin student) host parents house. And Becca, the friend who we visited in Middelburg a few weekends ago, was there as well. Mike flew back home on Monday, and Becca flew to Spain today, so we decided to spend the weekend there. Beth's family (from the states) was visiting, so just Becca, Mike, & I went around.
I took Friday off of work so we had a long weekend in amsterdam. here's the run-down:
Friday:
-Arrived in Hilversum around noon
-Got to Amsterdam around 2
-Walked around the city; got familiar with its layout, and went to a theater performance in a park in the evening

.Saturday:
-Got to Amsterdam centraal at about noon
-Did a tourist circuit: Van Gogh Museum, Rijks Museum, New Kirk Museum, Canal tour by Boat.
-In the evening we went out to a nice dinner and just relaxed.
Sunday:
-Did some more touring: Rembrandt's House & Studio, Amsterdam Historisch Museum, and more walking around the city.
-Traveled home to Doetinchem & Left Mike behind :(
WelL I could go into many more details about this weekend, but I will just stop here and let the pictures talk for themselves!
I have just 2 days of work left & then my dad is coming out on Friday. He & I are then taking a tour around the country. I am so excited!
