Day 2 –Amsterdam

By Leigh Pudwill

Northern Lights 16-1

Day 2!

Today was a fun day! We woke up and had breakfast at around 9:15. After breakfast we got ready for the Anne Frank house. We waited in line for like a half hour but it went by fast. When we got in there we watched a couple videos about how she was in hiding and about her family and we also got to see the actual diary that she wrote, that was pretty neat!

After the Anne Frank house we got to go SHOPPINGGGG!!!! We were let loose in Amsterdam for four hours and we shopped till we dropped! Literally! Me Ash and
Monica really wanted a smoothie so we saw a shop that said fruit smoothies so we thought we would try some! Turns out the smoothies were just juice and we paid like 4 bucks for some OJ :( very disappointing! Then we went out to dinner at an Argentinean Steak house and we had some delish chicken and potatoes/French fries. Everybody wanted ice cream after so we were let loose again to do some more shopping and get some fresh Amsterdam gelato!

We got back to the hotel around 9-ish and wrote our fams then went to bed! Although our feet killed and legs were wobbly we still had a great time!!! We all miss you parents and send our love!!

See you again soon!
