AmsterdamLAND

     My journey has begun...and yet it still has not sunk in. I cannot believe Im across the world, in a different time zone, it is all so surreal. I feel like I am on the universal studios tram ride, and I am just waiting for it to  end. 
     So the adventure began with an emotional airport goodbye...(missing my boo), then to a giANT airplane. I managed to watch 3 movies and can I just say, I have never been offered soo many beverages in my life. Arriving in Amsterdam was though we arrived somewhere in the midwest, it wasnt until the taxi driver started off-roading on the train tracks and almost hit a pedestrian that I knew I was NOT in america...or kansas. Not to mention the buildings and cobblestone roads and canals are amazingly beautiful! 
    Being here has made me realize that us americans sure do LOVE our space. Our hotel room is a 10x10 box with two twin beds smashed together in the corner. Im not complaining, just a realization. What else have I realized....the dutch are friendly as everrr, and they sell bottles of water...(wheres the tap?) We are staying in a great location...rembrandt center...or something like that. 
     Time for bed, BIG things tomorrow...like gettig a phone, and getting some "hot chocolate" at the coffee shop...or we can take a trip over to nasty club. 

goodnight world
