A Night in Brussels and Amster-Dayum! July 17, 2009

Hello everyone.  It has been a while.  It is hard to find an Internet cafe that lets you upload pictures.  Thankfully, our host, Jacquline, has allowed us the use of her laptop.  Brussels was magical.  The quirky city was filled with interesting landmarks, beautiful architecture and friendly people.  Oh, yeah, and the fries and waffles are UNBELIEVABLE  (*see below for how much fun we had eating one.  Everyone looks like that while they are eating the waffles.  Seriously.)  We also had a few drinks in a strange bar next door to our hostel that looked as if Edgar Allen Poe designed it, as the tables were coffins, the lights black and the music ranging from Korn to Iron Maiden.  Cierra, it was hard not to think of you in the bar!

We arrived in Amsterdam on the 15th.  Our host, Jacquline, met us at the train station and we walked around the entire city taking in the sights.  As you may imagine, Amsterdam is very laid back and easy going.  Everyone rides bikes EVERYWHERE, be sure to walk in the walking lane and not the bike lane, as Pete was almost killed by a bicyclist.  We visited a film museum, town center, and Jacquline took us to a “Dub” (a dance party with a DJ and house music).  She was great fun and crucial in helping us make our way around the city.  We will miss her!  Now we switch our accommodations to a hostel in Amsterdam called the Bulldog where we will spend our last two nights.  Then off to Paris!
