Amsterdam

Mark and Pat went out at around 10:00 last night, looking for the Red-Light district! They didn’t know where it was, and they didn’t have any money. Sure, like they were really going to find it!
We all got a call at 6:30 (!) this morning. I practically said “fuck you” when I answered the phone!
After breakfast (which was better than usual), we took an interesting boat ride through the canals.
After the boat ride, we went through a diamond factory, seeing how they cut diamonds, which was a bunch of shit. We then went to a fantastic museum, with lots of Rembrandts, sculptures, and drawings.
We ate lunch at the top of some building, and then took the afternoon tour. First, we went to a real house-farm, to see how cheese is made. We then went to a “klomp-maker,” who makes wooden shoes. Really fun! I bought a pair, and I like them a lot.
After visiting a fishing city, and boarding a boat to “Tourist Island,” we then went back into the city to pick up the others (who didn’t go on the afternoon tour). We observed “hippies” all over the square.
