On the ride into the city I was jamming to my ipod and basking in the awesome city. My ancestors are mostly Dutch so I was excited to be in the country that they were from. We stayed in christian hostel in the middle of the city (and the red light district). Once arriving we walked around the city a little bit before heading to bed.
Saturday we got up and did a walking tour of the city. We even found the moving, iconic I-Amsterdam sign during our walk. The canals were absolutely beautiful and the amount of bikes in Amsterdam was outrageous. Luckily, the rain held our for us and both days were fairly nice.
That evening we went out for a nice dinner and ended up eating waffles and pancakes called poffertjes. They were delicious! (and so nice to have since london doesn't believe in waffles or pancakes). Sunday we got up and headed out of the city center in search of a windmill. We found one!
Overall, the trip was quick but very fun. I am glad that I got to go to the country of my ancestors!
