I loved reading this, Hannah! Amsterdam looks like a really neat place. I've always wanted to visit different places in Europe, so I hope I'll be able to visit there some day (although England is on the top of my list :-).

Love this country, love this post. :)

1) Definitely something you should know. Dutch people are very blunt and frank, and they'll have no problem yelling at you to get out of the way.

2) That's so funny. We walked past a guy, and he tried to sell us some, and he wouldn't stop yelling until we turned the corner. Not so fun.

3) That's a big downside. We had a friend, and her six-year old daughter came home from school one day and told her mom that she learned how to use a condom. It's just a hard culture in that regard.

4) Lots of people from our church stop by Amsterdam on their way to missions trips, and several of them have done the canal tours before, and fell asleep. :)

5) After two weeks of walking through England, Holland, and Belgium, my feet are dead; I can sympathize. :)

6) That's actually called Lipton Ice. You can't get in in America, and that's one of the things that we crave. We'll always have friends bring it back for us when they come. I've been carrying two around in my suitcase since we left Holland on Sunday.

7) BUT there are still other flowers! We were at the market the other day, and we bought 20 roses for 3.50. It's amazing.

8) Did you like her house? It's been so long since I've been, but I remember loving both her and Corrie ten Boom's house when I've visited before.

9) Please tell me you stopped and got some frites from a frite shop. In my opinion, they're the perfect meal.

10) That's one of my favorite places. :) I was hoping that you'd end up going, cause I love it there. I always wanted to live in one of those houses. :)

So glad you had an amazing time!

@guinevere I love my toms, just not for a ton of walking, but they are super-lovely. And no, I wasn't a huge fan of the tea, but my dad ended up loving it. Whatever...;)

@Libby I'm sure you'll have much fun. And oh, you are so lucky to be able to visit as much as you'd like:-)

So excited to go to Amsterdam in August, and this has just made me even more so! I'm only going for three days & I think we'll stay in Amsterdam for all of that time, as it's easy enough for us to return again to go further into the country. I really like the liberal-ness of Holland, though I can see that it would be easy to get your coffee shops confused!
