She can talk the talk, but can't walk the walk- Amsterdam Adventures!

Berlin---> Amsterdam.

Jacklyn, Hannah and I (a great traveling trio) decided to visit this Amsterdam. Amsterdam is a real life Disneyland, true happiness. The quaintest town, beautiful canals, people biking everywhere, great shopping, the NICEST people and we lucked out with some amazing weather. We arrived Thursday evening, explored the town, shared some pitchers of Dutch beer and got a good feel for the city and its...culture, including the Red Light District. Anyways the next day, first we checked out the Anne Frank museum. It wasn't huge or anything but it was definitely something good for us to see. 
The infamous bookcase

Anne Frank.



We went to funky shops and the Blomenmrkt (flower market). Holland is known for its tulips, which coincidentally have recently become my favorite flower :)






Took a lot of pictures of all the awesome things I couldn't buy :)
Had to do a Converse shot...



We really navigated the city...I was in charge of telling Hannah and Jack where to go, they were in charge of getting me there...I have no sense of direction I have realized, hence the title.
We met up with the Beta boys, checked out the FOAM photography museum...should have gone to the Van Gogh one instead (rookie mistake) and dipdued around the town.

Let me fast forward to that night...got hooked up with a local through a friend. Went to this amazing club called Truow, where Seth Troxler was spinning for the Late Night Society party (didn't know who he was until later of course). One of the best nights of my life. Met amazing people, really digging the Dutch culture...did I mention how nice the people were!?

Truow. Danced the night away until 5 in the morning. 



Last day in Amsterdam. Beautiful (and I mean unreal) weather, flea market, orange juice, parks, and taking the last of the city in. 




I will forever think about this OJ and drool.
I'm totally becoming a park person, can't wait to do this in Seattle! How nice does this look!?


Im in love with Amsterdam, and all of the Europe I have seen.
All in all, a successful and unforgettable trip.
