guten tag. im in amsterdam now with jesse and its amazing. the houses are really pretty and there are tosn of caanls ... so its sort of looks like greenwich village on water. its our second day here and were actually pretty exhausted ... there are trams and things but walking is both cheapr ad mroe fun....so at this point our feet are feeling the burn. so far we have seen some museums, had some great pancakes and some stroppwaffles ... mm and some great chocolate! were staying at a hostel in a dorm ... so we share a room with people we dot know. its actually the first time i have stayed in a dorm situation at a hostel without a group (like my study abroad group or a bunch of people). its not too ba but a private room is definitely nicer. the weather has been great, and the sun has been shining =)

ok, gotta run
