From the AMC, we took a train towards town. We went to a flea market and did a little shopping. Then we went on to the Anne Frank Huis. It was hot as heck outside and even hotter inside with all the people. The line was down the street with people waiting to go in. Luckily we had a group reservation and bypassed the line. I went there the last time I was in Amsterdam as well and it still made me cry. There's entries of her diary, displays of the house, stories of her experience and about what was going on, and some of the rooms displayed just as they had been. It is a pretty incredible place. Sad, but incredible.
Skylar has taken to this guy, Jaime and followed him just about everywhere. Jaime seemed pretty cool with it though. He's fun and energetic and plays video games, so of course Skylar adored him.
From there we walked to a spanish restaurant for a tapas dinner. I guess Americans are just air conditioning spoiled because this place was crazy hot too. The food was delicious though. It was buffet style, but more elegantly done. First we had the cold tapas and then the hot, all while drinking pitchers of Sangria.
Finally we headed back to the Hostel and worked a little more on our presentations. Everyone was going out and I wanted to go as well, so I asked Melani (who was sharing the room with me) if she planned on going out tonight and if she was going to be in the room anyway, would she mind keeping an eye on Skylar after I got him to sleep. Usually I am not that bold and I don't know what got into me, but she said of course. We just went over to Leidseplein and hung out for a few hours. It was nice to get out... it's been a while since I have gone out without Skylar, who says things like, "You're having another beer?! You had one last week!" Anyway, it was nice. I was out pretty late though just chatting with people and when I got back I had trouble falling asleep. Sleep is overrated when you're in Amsterdam.
